President Joe Biden showed off to a Philadelphia audience on Friday that he was wearing Phillies socks
The president and first lady haven’t been shy about showing off their Philly fandom during the baseball postseason.
dr. Biden was born in New Jersey but grew up in Willow Grove, Pennsylvania, a town just north of Philadelphia.
The president was born in Scranton, Pennsylvania, but grew up in Wilmington, Delaware, with his closest major league sports teams in Philadelphia.
The first lady returned to the White House in a Phillies jersey on Oct. 23, the night the team defeated the San Diego Padres to win the National League title.
That win brought them into the World Series against Houston.
During a recent fundraiser, Dr. Biden about how growing up her family spent more time talking about the Philadelphia Phillies than politics.
The president showed his love for Philly on Friday by raising his leg at a fundraiser for Democrats John Fetterman and Josh Shapiro and showing the public in Philadelphia that he was wearing Phillies socks.
“Oh god, I love Philly,” Biden said. “I love Philly so much I married a girl from Philadelphia.”
He then pulled up his trouser leg to show off his red socks with the signature italic ‘P’.
“We’ve had a good year, the Phillies and the Eagles,” he continued. “Look, folks, I’d better get this sorted on the road because the Phillies are playing tonight. And I love you all, but I would also like to see the match,” the president added.
So far, the Phillies and Astros have won one game each.
In the series with the Padres, the Phillies let the San Diego team win Game Two, then defeated them in the next three games.
The two teams will play Game Three on Monday-evening.
Neither team will make it to the World Series on the night Dr. Biden is present.
Earlier this month, the first lady also attended a Philadelphia Eagles game, which was also part of her cancer advocacy.
That appearance made headlines when a video circulated the internet in which the mob violently chased the first lady.
That video later turned out to be manipulated.
Philadelphia sports fans have a reputation for being hostile, thanks to a 1968 incident where Eagles fans were so angry at the team’s bad season that they booed santa.
