Speaking about his two daughters, Natasha and Ella, and Lopez’s daughter, Emme, A-Rod made an impactful statement:
“I just want our three little girls to know that one day, they could be CEO, they could go for no. 1 and they could be the next president of the United States of America."
Biden agreed and supported Rodriguez by saying:
"They could be president. It's about letting people know that there is nothing beyond our capacity. ... I really, really believe it."
