President Biden hosted the reigning World Series champion Texas Rangers at the White House on Thursday.
The president shared some jokes shortly after entering the East Room of the White House. Biden even complimented Rangers pitcher Nathan Eovaldi on his suit, saying, “You look good, Nathan.”
After Biden made some comments about the Rangers' championship season, manager Bruce Bochy presented him with a personalized jersey. Biden held up the jersey and posed for a photo. Bochy also gave the president a pair of cowboy boots.
Moments later, Biden asked, “Okay, what am I doing now?” as guests and players laughed.

The president continued what seemed like a joke by asking a military aide who approached him if they were trying to take away one of the gifts he had just received.
“Are you stealing my shirt?” he asked, before cracking a smile and finally handing over the personalized gift.

“Distinguished guests, please remain in your seats as the president leaves,” the emcee announced. Biden left the stage and greeted two children sitting in the front row.
The president then faced the Rangers players and gave them a military-style salute before turning and walking out of the room.
