Hillary Clinton on Thursday compared the presidential election to the Chicago Cubs’ historic World Series victory in a nod to the possibility that she’ll be the country’s first female president.
{mosads}At a rally in Greenville, N.C., the Democratic presidential nominee said she held a rally Wednesday night in the traditionally red state of Arizona with tens of thousands of people, but it was the final World Series game that made her nervous.
Clinton, who grew up in the Chicago suburb of Park Ridge, Ill., recounted watching games with her father and visiting Wrigley Field while growing up. The Cubs hadn’t won a World Series in 108 years.
“I was a little anxious because the Cubs were in the World Series,” Clinton said of her feelings Wednesday night. “It’s been a long time, 108 years to win a championship and make history, so last night was very special on lots of fronts.”
