“I’d have Travis up here but God only knows what he’d say,” the president quipped, before player Travis Kelce took the podium.
President Joe Biden and the Kansas City Chiefs left it all on the field (or lawn) on Friday.
The White House kept with tradition by hosting the championship-winning NFL team for a meeting with the president, who at one point donned a Chiefs helmet in support.
“Welcome back to the White House!” Biden said at the podium on the South Lawn, as his visitors stood behind him. “Super Bowl LVIII champions, the Kansas City Chiefs! The first team in 20 years to win back-to-back.
“Winning back-to-back,” he repeated. “I kinda like that.”
The allusion to his bid for reelection over former President Donald Trump in this year’s upcoming election drew audible laughs for Biden, who went on to laud the Chiefs for their determination “to work harder” and “dig deeper” to win.
