Mookie Betts Confirms Attendance for Dodgers' White House Visit

Betts' decision marks a shift from his 2019 stance, emphasizing team unity over politics ahead of the April 7 celebration.

Mookie Betts will join the Los Angeles Dodgers at the White House on April 7 to celebrate their 2024 World Series victory.
Betts, who skipped a similar visit in 2019 during Trump’s first term, expressed regret over his previous decision, calling it 'selfish.'
The star player emphasized that his choice to attend is not political but motivated by a desire to support his team and their accomplishments.
The Dodgers’ White House visit continues the long-standing tradition of honoring championship teams, despite an increasingly politicized climate.
The event will take place before the Dodgers' series opener against the Washington Nationals, with a Capitol Hill visit planned for April 8.
