President Biden hosted the reigning World Series champion Texas Rangers at the White House Thursday.
The president shared a few jokes shortly after he entered the East Room of the White House. Biden even complimented Rangers pitcher Nathan Eovaldi on his suit, saying, “Looking good, Nathan.”
After Biden gave a few remarks about the Rangers’ championship season, manger Bruce Bochy presented him with a customized jersey. Biden then held up the jersey and posed for a photo. Bochy also gave the president a pair of cowboy boots.
Moments later, Biden asked, “All right, what am I doing now?” as the guests and players laughed.
The president followed up what appeared to be a joke by asking a military aide who approached him if they were trying to take one of the gifts he had just received.
“Are you stealing my jersey?” he asked, before cracking a smile and eventually handing off the personalized gift.
