Obama congratulates MLB for 'taking a stand' against Georgia election law as Trump calls for boycott
CNN
Former Presidents Barack Obama and Donald Trump have weighed in on Major League Baseball's decision to move its All-Star Game out of Atlanta in response to Georgia's new sweeping election law that imposes significant new obstacles to voting.
Obama on Saturday congratulated the league "for taking a stand on behalf of voting rights for all citizens," following MLB's Friday announcement. The Democrat's tweeted support of the move struck a starkly different tone from his Republican successor's statement late Friday that called for a boycott of baseball and all of the "woke companies that are interfering with Free and Fair Elections."More Related News
