Biden, Harris call Dodgers manager to congratulate team on World Series win
President Biden and Vice President Harris spoke separately on the phone with Los Angeles Dodgers' manager Dave Roberts to congratulate him on the team's World Series win.
The White House confirmed to The Hill that Biden talked to Roberts on the phone and congratulated him and the team, which beat the New York Yankees in Game 5 on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, Harris and Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff called Roberts separately and congratulated him on the win, a video posted to the social platform Instagram showed.
"We couldn't be more proud of the team and your leadership and that incredible win," Harris said on the phone, admitting that while she couldn't watch the game live, her husband — the Dodgers' "biggest fan"— did.
"Congrats, we were actually doing events and we had out phones out and so when we got in the car after one event, you were down five [to] nothing. By the time we got to our next event, it was 5-5, but the time we were done for the evening, we saw you celebrating and it was such a thrill," Emhoff said in the video.
