Tuesday’s trip to the White House marked the Warriors’ first visit back to the White House since President Barack Obama’s administration. Despite winning a pair of titles, the Warriors opted not to attend the White House while President Donald Trump was in office. 

Both President Biden and Vice President Harris spoke at a ceremony in front of the Warriors, their families and special guests. Harris, a former California Senator and Oakland native introduced Steph Curry and President Biden as the ceremony got underway. Before the ceremony came to a close, Curry presented both President Biden and Vice President Harris with custom Golden State jerseys.
