For The Win
Super Bowl security is already a mess — an arduous process designed to keep everyone safe for one of the highest profile annual events in American history. Well, good news for anyone hoping to watch Super Bowl 59 in person in New Orleans: now they may have to deal with a dense layer of Secret Service agents on top of it.
President Donald Trump is reportedly planning to attend Sunday’s game, a move that would make him the second-most famous person in the suites of the Superdome behind Taylor Swift. If he decides to take a break from levying, then pausing, tariffs in order to secure commitments foreign governments had already made months earlier, it would be an unprecedented move from the Commander in Chief.
No sitting president has ever attended a Super Bowl.
Vice presidents have, including Mike Pence — Trump’s former second-in-command who was left off the ticket in 2024. But while presidents are often guests at the Army-Navy Game each December, Trump would be the first to watch the big game in person.
