Who is popular today?

The official list of players in this year’s Congressional Women’s Softball Game is OUT! (to be read in an umpire’s voice) and we have just over a month before members of Congress and the D.C. press corps face each other on the field again.
The members team, which is historically comprised of a bipartisan bunch of female lawmakers, has seen a decreasing number of Republican players over the years, one of them being last year’s MVP Mia Love. This year Sen. Joni Ernst, Del. Jenniffer González-Colón and Reps. Shelley Moore Capito and Martha Roby make up less than a third of the team.
