The first lady of the United States, Jill Biden, revealed her allegiances for the World Series between the Philadelphia Phillies and the Houston Astros in a pretty hilarious way on Wednesday.
Biden was at a fundraiser in Pittsburgh, PA on Wednesday, and gave a very comedic opening line about the Astros that lines up with most baseball fans outside of the Houston area.
“There are some things that rise above partisan lines, and values that we all share. Like wanting to see the Astros lose,” said Biden, according to NBC News White House Correspondent Mike Memoli.

Biden also revealed that she will attend Game 4 on Wednesday night taking place at Citizens Bank Stadium in Philadelphia, PA.
Many took to social media to agree with Jill Biden on her hilarious way to unite most of the country in rooting against the Astros.

Biden grew up just north of Philadelphia in Willow Grove, PA, so it isn’t exactly shocking to hear that she is rooting for the Phillies in this series.
The Phillies are currently up 2-1 in the series and could really take ahold of this series with a win at home on Wednesday.
Star pitcher Aaron Nola will be the Phillies starter on Wednesday in a crucial Game 4, while Astros pitcher Christian Javier will look to stifle Philadelphia’s prolific offense to tie this series up at two games a piece.
