Meanwhile, others were less enthusiastic to see Harris at the game.
"'Border czar' Kamala Harris has time for this, but not the southern border?" the RNC Research account wrote. "10K+ illegal immigrants crossed every single day this week and that doesn't even include the 'gotaways.' Her last trip there was 904 days ago."
