As Super Bowl LIX kicks off today, football fans and analysts alike are making their final predictions for the highly anticipated matchup between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles. With the Chiefs aiming for an unprecedented third consecutive championship and the Eagles seeking redemption after their loss to Kansas City in Super Bowl LVII, the stakes couldn’t be higher.
President Trump’s Super Bowl Pick
Among those making predictions is former President Donald Trump, who has publicly backed the Chiefs to take home the Lombardi Trophy once again. In an interview with Fox News’ Bret Baier, Trump explained his reasoning, emphasizing his admiration for Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes. “I guess you have to say that when a quarterback wins as much as he’s won, I have to go with Kansas City,” Trump stated. He also acknowledged the Eagles’ strength, calling them “fantastic,” but ultimately sided with the Chiefs.
Trump also made special mention of Mahomes’ wife, Brittany Mahomes, recognizing her support for his administration. His endorsement of the Chiefs has sparked conversations among sports fans and political commentators alike, adding another layer of intrigue to the already exciting event.
