President Biden Reacts to Washington ‘Commanders’ Nickname

The Washington Football Team officially revealed that Commanders will be the franchise's new nickname on Wednesday morning. Among those that's given an approval of the moniker is President Biden.

Biden took to social media shortly after the organization’s announcement. He appears to approve of the new nickname given that it matches the name of his German shepherd, Commander.

“I suppose there's room for two Commanders in this town,” the President wrote from his official Twitter account, accompanying a picture of the First Family's dog.

Washington ended a nearly 20-month rebranding process on Wednesday, revealing the new nickname in an official press release and an in-person ceremony.
