President Donald Trump has revealed he will host Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs at the White House after their 2020 visit was canceled due to the Covid pandemic.
The Chiefs’ invite to Washington DC was curtailed five years ago, and the players – including Patrick Mahomes and Kelce – never got the chance to make up for lost time.
Now, though, the president has revealed that after this year’s Super Bowl champion – the Philadelphia Eagles – have completed their visit next month, attention will turn to the Chiefs.
Speaking to Outkick’s Clay Travis on Air Force One on Saturday night, Trump said: ‘I look forward to having the Eagles. And one other thing, we’re going to have the Kansas City Chiefs after that because they missed their turn because of Covid.’
The Kansas City Chiefs are yet to comment publicly on the president’s comments, and no date has yet been set for their invite.
Many eyes will be on Kelce if and when the Chiefs do go, given his girlfriend Taylor Swift’s very public campaigning against Trump before the 2024 election.
