Hillary Clinton made an appearance at Madison Square Garden on Monday to watch the New York Liberty face off against the Seattle Storm, sitting courtside alongside team owner Clara Tsai. The former first lady and 2016 presidential candidate also had the opportunity to interact with Liberty guard Sabrina Ionescu during the matchup.
However, the standout moment of Clinton’s evening may have come during halftime when she witnessed the team’s mascot, Ellie the Elephant, perform an elaborate dance routine. Video footage captured Clinton’s visibly delighted reaction as the costumed character executed headstands and other acrobatic moves while waving its limbs in the air.
The Liberty’s mascot has earned recognition as one of the WNBA’s most accomplished performers, delivering energetic and technically impressive entertainment displays throughout the season. Clinton’s apparent engagement with Ellie’s performance sparked social media commentary comparing her enthusiasm to previous instances of her animated reactions at high-profile public events.
