Biden likes the Phillies
As an aide ushered the pool out the door, VPOTUS seemed to take issue with ABC sound technician Bernie Gmiter's Red Sox cap. "Phillies hats are accepted," VPOTUS joked. After leaving the EEOB, Gmiter said, "Whoops. Won't do that again."

Between Biden, David Plouffe (another Delawarean, who’s not in the WH but managed the campaign and still advises the president), and—crossing party lines—Justice Sam Alito, the Phils have a decent amount of high-profile support in the federal government.

Yes, Phillies fandom is like a microcosm of American politics. You even have Arlen Specter pretending to like the Phillies for political expediency when he probably doesn’t really care.

There’s also Chris Matthews, if you want to stretch it to political figures outside the government.
And don’t forget Tina Fey, arguably the biggest mover and shaker in American politics in 2008.

Biden is the consummate politician.
If I remember correctly, in a broadcast not too long ago, the VP stated he grew up rooting for the Yankees
