The Little League World Champion River Ridge All-Stars visited the White House today. Congressman Steve Scalise helped set up the visit after the team won the world championship in August.

But instead of traveling home by flying commercial, the kids were able to catch a ride with the president himself -- as President Donald Trump took Air Force One to Lake Charles for a political rally ahead of tomorrow' gubernatorial election.
