President Joe Biden will host the Texas Rangers at the White House on Thursday to recognize the 2023 World Series champions, their first championship title in the history of the franchise
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden will host the Texas Rangers at the White House on Thursday to recognize the 2023 World Series champions on winning their first title in the history of the franchise.
The Rangers defeated the Arizona Diamondbacks in Game 5 of the World Series last November.
It’s a longstanding tradition for professional and collegiate championship sports teams to visit the White House and be recognized by the president. The visit will bring about a rare public appearance by Biden, who has hardly been seen since his July 21 announcement that he was dropping his bid for reelection and endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris to lead the Democratic ticket in November's presidential election.
The Rangers were set to fly to Washington on Wednesday after a game against the Houston Astros. After Thursday's appearance with Biden, the Rangers were bound for New York to open a three-game series against the Yankees on Friday.
