President Trump to Make History with Super Bowl Attendance
By Movieguide® Contributor
No sitting president in United States history has ever attended a Super Bowl, but that will change this Sunday.
“President Donald Trump is expected to go to the Super Bowl this weekend in New Orleans,” reported Jake Sherman of Punchbowl News. The Kansas City Chiefs will face off against the Philadelphia Eagles at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans on Feb. 9.
Secret Service spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said in a press release that his team has been preparing for Trump’s visit to New Orleans.
“Extensive planning and coordination have been in place to ensure the safety of all attendees, players, and staff,” Guglielmi said. “Security measures have been further enhanced this year, given that this will be the first time a sitting President of the United States will attend the event.”
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes expressed his excitement for the president’s attendance.
“It’s always cool to be able to play in front of a sitting president,” he told Fox News Digital. “Someone that is at the top position in our country.”
President Trump’s posts and recent comments show he favors the Chiefs, but he declined to answer specifically who he thinks will win the big game.
“I don’t want to say, but there’s a certain quarterback that seems to be a pretty good winner,” Trump said when the media asked who he’s rooting for.
Trump also congratulated the Chiefs for their AFC Championship win.

“Congratulations to the Kansas City Chiefs,” he wrote on Truth Social. “What a GREAT Team, Coach, Quarterback, and virtually everything else, including those fantastic FANS, that voted for me (MAGA!) in record numbers. Likewise, congratulations to the Buffalo Bills on a tremendous season. They will do a lot of winning long into the future!!!”
