Former President Donald Trump and his wife Melania are in a suite at Game 4 of the Astros-Braves World Series on Saturday night at Atlanta's Truist Park.

Trump was joined at the game by political allies, including Senate candidate Herschel Walker.

Social media users showed a video of Melania, seeming unhappy next to her husband "Trump", but it looks like she saw a bad signal from a fan or something in that course.

Atlanta Braves CEO Terry McGuirk said earlier in the week that Trump requested tickets to attend the game, but on Saturday, Trump released a statement thanking Major League Baseball commissioner Rob Manfred and New York Yankees president Randy Levine for the invitation.

In a statement to Yahoo Sports, MLB officials repeated that Trump was the one who requested to attend the game.

Before the game started, both the former President and former First Lady participated with the Braves' Tomahawk Chop along with the crowd.

In the fifth inning, the players and fans held up a sign for the "Stand Up To Cancer" campaign in which they wrote down the name of someone they know who has battled cancer. Trump wrote "All Americans" on his card.

Trump was outspoken when Manfred pulled the All-Star Game out of Atlanta after Georgia passed sweeping changes to the state's voting laws.

Trump narrowly lost Georgia to Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential election. He lost Fulton County by 46 points, but only lost Cobb County – where Truist Park is located – by 14 points.
