Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was in attendance at a WNBA game on Monday, watching the New York Liberty compete against the Seattle Storm. During the game, Clinton appeared particularly engaged by the team's mascot, Ellie the Elephant, who performed a halftime dance routine that included a headstand.
Clinton was seated courtside alongside team owner Clara Tsai. She also took the opportunity to interact with Liberty guard Sabrina Ionescu.
Video footage captured Clinton's reaction to the mascot's performance, which observers noted as enthusiastic. The event drew attention amid a period of increased viewership for the WNBA.
Clinton, who has held positions as First Lady, Senator, and Secretary of State, and was the Democratic nominee for president in 2016, has been a visible figure at various public events.
