Vice President Kamala Harris on Saturday made a surprise visit to Audi Field, where she led the coin toss between Howard University and Hampton University for the inaugural "Truth and Service Classic" football game.
The big picture: Harris is the first graduate of a historically Black college or university (HBCU) to enter the White House, Axios' Russell Contreras reports.
- The 96th matchup between Howard and Hampton marks the first-ever college football game to be played at Audi Field, home of MLS team D.C. United.
- Second gentleman Doug Emhoff also made a visit to the Washington Nationals game on Saturday afternoon, delivering a strike with his ceremonial first pitch.
