Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, likely headed for the Hall of Fame, gave a simple three-word response when asked about President Donald Trump attending Super Bowl LVIII. As Kelce and the Chiefs aim for a historic “three-peat” against the Philadelphia Eagles, he said, “It’s an honor” regarding Trump’s presence at the game, which will be the first time a sitting president attends the Super Bowl.
Kelce’s reaction surprised some, given his connection to Taylor Swift, who supports Joe Biden and other Democrats. Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes also shared a similar sentiment, calling it “cool” to play in front of a sitting president.
Kelce’s response earned praise from *The View* co-hosts, who saw it as a classy, diplomatic move. They noted that his comment kept the focus on the game, especially with the Chiefs chasing history by potentially winning three straight Super Bowls.
Trump is expected to attend with House Speaker Mike Johnson and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. The Chiefs are slight favorites, finishing the regular season 15-2, while the Eagles went 14-3.
