During a recent media session leading up to the 2025 Super Bowl, Patrick Mahomes, the star quarterback of the Kansas City Chiefs, expressed his appreciation for the commendation he received from President Donald Trump. The 29-year-old Mahomes, renowned for his prowess on the football field, responded positively to Trump’s comments about him and his previous Super Bowl victories.
In a pre-game press conference on Wednesday, Feb. 5, Mahomes was asked about Trump’s recent remarks lauding his achievements and predicting the outcome of the upcoming championship game. Trump, who is anticipated to be in attendance at the Super Bowl on Sunday, Feb. 9, refrained from explicitly naming a favored team but hinted at his admiration for Mahomes by describing him as a “pretty good winner.”
When questioned about his thoughts on Trump’s presence at the Super Bowl, Mahomes expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to showcase his skills to the President. He acknowledged the significance of playing in front of the nation’s leader and conveyed his respect for the office.
Similarly, Mahomes’ teammate, Travis Kelce, echoed sentiments of appreciation towards Trump’s attendance at the game, emphasizing the honor it represents. Kelce, aged 35, emphasized the significance of the occasion in his response to reporters, underlining the importance of the game and the privilege of having the President in attendance.
Notably, Mahomes has maintained a neutral stance on political matters, abstaining from endorsing any candidate during the 2024 presidential election. He has emphasized the importance of voter registration and independent decision-making, encouraging individuals to conduct their research and make informed choices.
In a separate incident, Mahomes’ wife Brittany garnered attention when she reportedly liked one of Trump’s Instagram posts outlining the “2024 GOP platform.” This action sparked both criticism and approval online, highlighting the diverse reactions to political affiliations within the public sphere.
As the excitement builds for the Super Bowl and the anticipation of Trump’s presence at the event grows, Mahomes and his teammates remain focused on the game while navigating the intersection of sports and politics in the spotlight.
