On and off the field, Republicans are winning!
Washington, D.C. — In a powerful display of unity, strength, and conservative grit, Republican lawmakers dominated their Democrat opponents in Wednesday night’s Congressional Baseball Game, delivering a stunning 13-2 victory at Nationals Park.
The patriotic showdown wasn’t just about the scoreboard. It was about values. It was about American tradition, teamwork, and a shared commitment to service—qualities that the GOP once again brought to the field in overwhelming fashion.
🔥 Republicans on a Winning Streak
This year’s win marks the fifth consecutive triumph for the GOP, further extending their lead in the historic series. With a 47-42 overall record, Republicans continue to prove they’re not just fighting for victories in Congress—but winning where it counts.
Rep. Greg Steube (R-Fla.), who bravely returned to the mound after suffering a life-threatening ladder fall in 2023, led the charge. He pitched five tough innings, striking out seven Democrats. “I’m taking an ice bath tomorrow,” he joked—reminding Americans of the resilience that defines our movement.

“Couldn’t be more proud to represent Texas and the Republican team,” Pfluger wrote on X. “Another BIG win for our team—and for America.”

💰 Millions Raised for Charity
Over 30,000 tickets were sold, raising an impressive $2.8 million for local charities—a testament to what conservative leadership can accomplish through action, not just words.
House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.), a survivor of the horrific 2017 left-wing shooting at a GOP team practice, called the night a massive success:
“Team GOP takes the WIN!! 🇺🇸 We’re not tired of winning,” Scalise wrote. “Proud to stand beside my Republican colleagues and raise millions for charity.”
👎 No Radical Protesters This Time
Unlike last year’s chaotic event—where anti-Israel agitators and climate activists disrupted the National Anthem and stormed the field—this year’s game was peaceful, patriotic, and focused on community. A refreshing return to civility.
Even former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) showed up in the Democrat dugout, greeted mostly by her own base as GOP fans cheered on their team with unmatched enthusiasm.
✅ Why This Matters:
- Republicans lead the series 47-42
- Millions raised to support American charities
- No protests, no chaos—just patriotism, sportsmanship, and results
- A reminder that conservative values win—on the field and in real life
