The vice president has chosen a side in the National League Division Series – and if you know anything about Kamala Harris, it won't come as a surprise.
Harris' office confirmed the East Bay native will be rooting for the San Francisco Giants as they take on the Los Angeles Dodgers, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. The former U.S. Sen. and California Attorney General served as San Francisco's district attorney from 2004-2011 before moving into state-level and eventually federal positions.
VP Harris lived in Los Angeles' Brentwood neighborhood with her husband before relocating to the Nation's Capitol. She sold her San Francisco condo in March, but it's no surprise that, unlike her address, her baseball allegiance remained unchanged.
Harris' husband, Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff, is a die-hard Dodgers fan. Her office told the paper he'll be rooting for his beloved Southern California city, where he lived for many years.
Harris – who broke many barriers in her history-making ascension to vice president – was born in Oakland and raised in a two-story duplex in Berkeley.
She's reportedly been spotted in a Dodgers cap before, a move pundits chalked up to her statewide office status. The Bay Area native also caused a stir last year when she and Pres. Joe Biden held up Dodgers jerseys in welcoming the newly-minted World Series champions to the White House.
In less surprising news, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's office said the longtime San Francisco Congresswoman will be rooting for the Giants.
The historic series starts on Thursday at Oracle Park.
KCBS Radio has reached out to Harris' office for comment but hasn't yet heard back.
