The Los Angeles Dodgers won their eighth World Series on Wednesday, staging an impressive five-run comeback to take Game 5 against the New York Yankees, 7-6.
The result might be cause for concern for Donald Trump just a few days before the November 5 presidential election, as the last time the Dodgers won the World Series in 2020, the New York native lost to Joe Biden.
That’s added to the fact that he’s a longtime Yankees fan, sharing a decades-long relationship with the team’s owner George Steinbrenner before his death in 2010.
Trump’s opponent next week, Kamala Harris, took to X to congratulate the Dodgers on their victory, with the California native noting how the team’s stellar performance during the season “brought joy to millions of fans around the world.”
Trump and Harris almost neck and neck for Tuesday’s election
Polls and political experts still have Trump and Harris neck and neck for Tuesday’s election. Sportsbooks have Trump as the favorite, with Betfred giving him a 63.6% chance of victory. Harris fans can get odds of +150 on the 60-year-old becoming the first-ever female president.
