Second gentleman Doug Emhoff has been selected to lead the presidential delegation to the closing ceremony of the Paris 2024 Olympics. During his visit, he will have the opportunity to meet with Team USA athletes, as confirmed by his communication director.

In addition to his diplomatic duties, Emhoff will host a roundtable discussion focused on promoting Holocaust education and combating antisemitism. This initiative underscores the ongoing efforts to raise awareness and prevent discrimination based on historical tragedies.
