Senator Eric Schmitt, a Republican representing Missouri, is actively preparing for the upcoming Congressional Baseball Game. Speaking with Fox News Digital, Senator Schmitt expressed his enthusiasm for the event, which brings together members of Congress from both parties for a friendly competition that benefits various charities.
"It's always a great opportunity to build relationships and support important causes," Schmitt stated. He emphasized the importance of bipartisan cooperation, even in a competitive setting.
When asked about the possibility of former President Donald Trump attending the game, Senator Schmitt said it would be "great" to have him there. He noted that President Trump's presence would likely draw even more attention to the event and its charitable goals.
The Congressional Baseball Game has a long and storied history, dating back to 1909. It serves as a lighthearted break from the often-heated political debates in Washington, D.C., and provides a chance for lawmakers to connect with each other and their constituents in a different context. The game also raises significant funds for charities, making it a win-win for everyone involved.
