Several months ago, former Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris came to a decision regarding her running mate and vice presidential pick. She decided on Tim Walz, and Harris’ team supposedly wanted Adrian Wojnarowski to break the news of her pick.

“Consider: In August, representatives from Kamala Harris’s presidential campaign reached out,” Chris Mannix wrote. “They had settled on their nominee for vice president and wanted Woj to break it. Alas, another outlet scooped him before he could.”

But Harris and Walz didn’t come out on top in November’s election. Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, who ran alongside J.D. Vance, earned 312 electoral votes compared to Harris’ 226, and the country’s 45th president won the popular vote as well. He’s the first Republican candidate to win the popular vote since George W. Bush did back in the year 2004.

Trump will begin his second term as president of the United States in the near future. He will be inaugurated on Jan. 20, which is less than two months away at this juncture.

Harris may not have become the first female president in the history of the country, but she’s still accomplished an incredible amount during her political career. Namely, she’s the current vice president of the United States and works for Joe Biden, who is nearing the end of his term in office.

Not long after Harris’ team wanted Wojnarowski to break the news of her selection for vice president, Wojnarowski retired from the news world and joined his alma mater, St. Bonaventure University, to become the general manager of the men’s basketball team. The Bonnies have gotten off to an impressive start to the collegiate season with Wojnarowski as one of the team’s chief decision-makers, as they’ve won eight of their nine contest to this point.

The University of Rhode Island and Loyola University Chicago are the only two teams in the Atlantic 10 Conference with better records, and both of those squads are still undefeated on the season.

Wojnarowski should be remembered as one of the more influential insiders in the history of sports media, and with any luck, he’ll enjoy a similar amount of success in his tenure as the general manager of the Bonnies, however long that will last.
