Vice President Kamala Harris is probably relieved that the NCAA tournaments are over because now her horrendous gaffe can be buried. I don’t know what was going through the vice president’s head, but she made a laughable falsehood about the women’s tournament on television.
In trying to make something historic, Harris claimed wrongly that women’s teams weren’t allowed to have brackets. That remark was quickly debunked, as Barack Obama always drew two brackets. And her husband had one in 2021—she even tweeted about it. It makes Harris’ posts about her bracket-making and the media touting her as a gal who “knows ball” look even more ridiculous.
Sports Fan Kamala Harris claims the NCAA women's basketball tournament was "not allowed to have brackets until 2022."

Once again, Harris proves she is Biden’s best 25th Amendment insurance policy.
South Carolina capped off an undefeated season for the women's teams, besting the Iowa Hawkeyes and its star Caitlin Clark, 87-75, in what was probably the most-watched national championship game for the women’s tournament ever. With the men, UConn coach Dan Hurley and his Huskies won the big dance again, going back-to-back over Purdue in a game that got quickly out of hand for the Boilermakers just minutes into the second half.
