Vice President Kamala Harris wore a Howard University shirt as she smiled from a luxury suite at the 2023 Celebration Bowl. She received her bachelor's degree in political science and economics from the historically Black college in Washington, D.C.

Harris is an avid supporter of Howard University athletics and previously attended a Bison basketball game. She traveled to Atlanta Saturday to support her alma mater as the Howard football team made its debut in the bowl game created to highlight historically Black colleges and universities. 

Although Howard lost by four to Florida A&M at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, the vice president remained gracious in defeat.

"We didn’t win, but it was a good game," she said shortly after the game. "FAMU did their thing."

Harris was accompanied by the second gentleman, Doug Emhoff, after the couple walked off Air Force Two Saturday. Emhoff wore blue and gray, Howard's school colors.
