GOP Rep. challenges Kamala to basketball on anniversary of Title IX after VP missed five baskets

Kat Cammack is challenging Kamala Harris to a one-on-one game of basketball. The stakes? A visit to the southern border.

The Republican Florida congresswoman told DailyMail.com that if the vice president wins the game then she can choose what the stakes are on her end.

The challenge comes after a video emerged of Harris on Wednesday attempting – and failing several times – to make a basketball in the hoop.

Harris marked the 50th anniversary of Title IX by visiting a middle school in Washington, D.C. for their ‘field day’ on the campus of American University where she was captured awkwardly maneuvering a basketball in heels and a pants suit.

She missed five shots before making one.

Cammack, who played basketball for her whole adolescence, joined House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy and a group of other Republican Study Committee members as they hosted student and professional female athletes at the Capitol who were bested by biological males competing in the female division.

During a press conference for the event she said that in the spirit of celebrating women in sports, she would love to challenge Harris to a basketball game.

If Harris lost, however, Cammack said that she would have to visit the border.

President Joe Biden put Harris in charge of the southern border crisis in her role as VP – but she has only visited the border once in her year and a half in the role when she went to El Paso under immense pressure from those who criticized her for avoiding viewing the problem first hand.

Harris appears not to be a star athlete – taking six attempts to make a basketball in the hoop on Wednesday.

The challenge comes after Harris – sporting a black pantsuit and stiletto heels – tried shooting hoops Wednesday at an event marking the 50th anniversary of Title IX. She eventually got the ball in the basket on the sixth try

A group of female athletes and activists gathered outside the Capitol on Thursday to push for keeping transgender men out of women’s sports. 

‘Bend your knees,’ Emhoff advised directly before Harris’ successful attempt.

Students from the vice president’s alma mater Howard University, located several miles from AU’s campus, were helping with the basketball clinic.

Field Day was hosted by the U.S. Department of Education and the Women’s Sports Foundation.

Earlier Wednesday, first lady Jill Biden joined tennis legend Billie Jean King for a State Department-sponsored event at D.C.’s Capital One Arena to mark the 50th anniversary of Title IX – as well as the 10th anniversary of the Department of State-espnW Global Sports Mentoring Program.

‘Fifty years, Title IX created space for girls and women to be more. To be bigger and brighter and stronger and smarter and more capable and courageous,’ Dr. Biden said. ‘It’s made our schools and our colleges become more fair.’

‘Title IX is who we are as a nation,’ the first lady, who is a community college professor, told the crowd.

King urged the government to ensure schools are complying with Title IX.

‘The primary beneficiaries of Title IX have been white, suburban girls,’ the tennis star said.

When Harris finally made a basketball in the hoop on Wednesday after several awkward attempts, middle schoolers cheered along with husband Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff

‘Let’s use this milestone anniversary to reenergize our focus on strengthening and advancing equity and opportunity for all girls and women – but especially those who have been left behind by the law, including girls of color, girls with disabilities, trans athletes and all LGBTQ+ youth,’ King continued.

‘We have to look forward,’ she added.

The inclusion of trans women in women’s sports has become a hot button issue, with a number of Republican candidates bringing it up in stump speeches this political cycle.

In fact, the group of Republicans – including Cammack – who gathered at the Capitol on Thursday were pushing for legislation that would prevent transgender woman from competing in women’s sports.

Among the athletes who joined the round table and press conference was Riley Gaines, who tied down to the millisecond with transgender female swimmer Lia Thomas.

Gaines detailed that at her event they gave the trophy to Thomas for picture purposes and said they would send her the trophy for the same place in the mail.

Another female athlete from Connecticut said that she lost out on championship titles all four years of school because of two biological males who competed in the female division.

The RSC said it just needs 18 more signatures on a discharge petition to bring to the floor a vote on the Women’s Bill of Rights, which is spearheaded by Arizona GOP Representative Debbie Lesko.

This legislation would define male and female and male sure that anyone born a man could not compete in women’s sports.

Title IX was seen as a major win for women, making it so that any institution with government funding needed to provide the same academic and athletic opportunities for girls and boys.
