President Donald Trump made history on Sunday when he became the first sitting president to attend an NFL Super Bowl, and he appeared to have a star-studded cast surrounding him at the game.
Trump arrived at the Caesars Superdome about an hour before kickoff, meeting with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones, and survivors of the New Year’s attack in New Orleans, who were honorary coin toss participants.
Trump watched the game from one of the executive suites at the Superdome, where he was also seen speaking with New Orleans Saints owner Gayle Benson.
Sitting next to Trump in the suite was his daughter, Ivanaka Trump, grandson, Theodore, as well as his son Eric Trump.
Around Trump were several other high profile individuals, including Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry, Prince Albert II of Monaco, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), and Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), Eric Schmitt (R-Mo.), and Tim Scott (R-S.C. ).
Trump was spotted during the game’s broadcast, as cameras caught him saluting the flag during the playing of the national anthem pre-game.
Others to have reportedly traveled with Trump to New Orleans from Palm Beach, Florida, included his other kids, Rep. Tom Emmer (R-Minn.) and GOP Sens. Dave McCormick (Pa.), Graham, John Barrasso (Wyo.), Scott, Katie Britt (Ala.), Tommy Tuberville (Ala.), Roger Marshall (Kan.) and Schmitt, The Hill reported.
While Trump had predicted the Kansas City Chiefs would win, he said he was a “big fan of both teams.”
The Philadelphia Eagles went on to beat the Chiefs — stopping a potential history-making third consecutive Super Bowl victory for the franchise — in a blowout 40-22 victory.
