Climate protesters block entrance to Nationals Park as Republicans and Democrats PLAY GAMES!

However, the rain was not the exclusive reason why the game got delayed. Several protestors also attempted to interrupt the game but were arrested by the US Capitol Police. The authorities reported that at least three climate activists participated in the protest and were taken into custody for causing violence. Before the game, several left-wing groups sent threats to shut down the game in the days leading up to the event. The authorities were aware of this and said, "We are aware that demonstrators are planning to protest political issues at the Congressional Baseball Game for Charity. Our mission is to protect the Members of Congress during this family event, so we have a robust security plan in place." The US Capitol Police Chief Tom Manger warned the protesters that the law enforcement team "will not" allow any activity that may lead up to violence or is deemed unlawful. He added, "We urge anyone who is thinking about causing trouble at the charity game to stay home. We will not tolerate violence or any unlawful behavior during this family event."

Fox News reported that a climate activist has said that lawmakers will witness similar protests in the future. The Chesapeake Climate Action Network's federal campaigns director, Quentin Scott, said, "They should not be playing a baseball game when" there are wildfires, droughts, and heat waves that have "created billions of dollars in damage." Scott further added that lawmakers should try to put more effort into passing climate legislation and said that Biden took some initial steps but can do a lot more. He stated, "He can be more aggressive with his executive orders; he can declare a climate emergency."
