Vice President Kamala Harris and her husband, Douglas Emhoff, were present at the Los Angeles Stadium for a decisive World Cup group-stage match between the United States and Turkey on Thursday. Emhoff posted a photo of himself and Harris with the caption "Goal!" on social media just moments before the U.S. Men's National Team (USMNT) conceded a goal, putting them behind 2-1 in the Group D contest. The timing of the post drew attention as it appeared shortly before Turkey took the lead.
Later in the match, Harris shared her own sentiment on Instagram, posting "Let’s go @usmnt" after Sebastian Berhalter scored an equalizer in the 49th minute, tying the game. She credited NSYNC member Lance Bass with taking the photograph used in the post. Also in attendance were Vice President JD Vance and his wife, Usha Vance, among thousands of spectators watching the high-stakes game.
