The Women’s National Basketball Association (WNBA) is gaining attention, and among the audience recently was Hillary Clinton. The former first lady, senator, and secretary of state attended a match between the New York Liberty and the Seattle Storm on Monday.
Clinton was seen enjoying the company of Clara Tsai, the owner of the New York Liberty, in the courtside seats. She also interacted with notable players, including Liberty guard Sabrina Ionescu. However, what stole the show was not the game itself, but the Liberty’s charismatic mascot, Ellie the Elephant.
Ellie is recognized as one of the primary mascots in the WNBA. Her energetic performance captivated both fans and Clinton alike. The sight of the enthusiastic mascot performing gymnastics stirred a notable reaction from Clinton, reminiscent of her playful engagement at the 2016 Democratic National Convention when balloons descended.
Clinton appeared to thoroughly enjoy the entertainment provided by the courtside antics of Ellie. In comparison, she might even rate this spectacle above a well-enjoyed Broadway show, given her visible cheer when Ellie performed.
