Dodgers’ Dave Roberts receives congratulatory call from 2024 presidential candidate

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts is used to being surrounded by stars. Their own lineup is filled with baseball’s best and brightest. Roberts took the stage with one of Los Angeles’ top rappers, Ice Cube, at the World Series Parade. But Roberts seemed absolutely starstruck after receiving a call from a 2024 presidential candidate.

“Dave, I’m Kamala Harris,” she said.

To which Roberts responded: “My God, Madam Vice President, Second Gentleman, how are you?”

Harris and her husband, Doug Emhoff, praised Roberts and his team for their phenomenal World Series victory in a congratulatory phone call.

“We couldn’t be more proud of the team, their leadership and that incredible victory,” Harris said. “I didn’t get to see the game live, but of course your biggest fan, Doug Emhoff, did.”

Roberts shared that he was happy to learn that Harris, the former attorney general of California, was still a fan of a West Coast team.

“I know the Second Gentleman is a Dodger fan and I just hoped his loyalty would remain at least on the West Coast,” Roberts said.

Despite being the first female district attorney in San Francisco history, Harris told Roberts she supported the Dodgers in October.

“I promise you I was rooting for the Dodgers the whole time,” Harris said.

Sorry to all the San Francisco Giants fans, it seems like the Democratic candidate is a Dodgers fan. Emhoff explained that Harris and himself had experienced the rollercoaster of emotions that all Dodger fans experienced during the Game 5 drama.

“We were actually doing events and we had our phones out,” Emhoff explained. “And then when we got in the car after one event, you were down 5-0. When we got to our next event, it was 5-5. When we finished the night, we saw you celebrating.” and it was very exciting.”

Harris reiterated that the Dodgers brought a lot of joy, which all Dodgers fans can relate to after celebrating the team’s first full-season World Series title since 1988.

“Please enjoy this moment and thank you for all the joy you bring us,” Harris said.

The Dodgers fan base has reached everywhere, from Los Angeles to Japan. But the vice president’s latest phone call indicates there are some Dodgers fans in the White House.
