Future President Travis Kelce at the White House and he’s glad to see his fellow Americans again 😃. Do you think he should contest someday?
After Travis Kelce tried — and failed — to address the crowd at a 2023 White House Super Bowl celebration, President Joe Biden let the tight end take the mic on May 31 when he hosted the Kansas City Chiefs for their second straight NFL championship win.
Biden praised the team’s successful season amid its “share of struggles,” including “doubters” during the team’s midseason slump and a -4 degree start to the playoffs in January.
“I don’t think anybody’s doubting you now. You fought hard. You kept the faith,” Biden said, giving a special shoutout to the team’s “comeback king — not kid,” quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
At the end of his remarks, before turning the mic over to Chiefs CEO Clark Hunt, Biden called up another speaker.
“I’d have Travis come up here, but God only knows what he’ll say,” Biden said. “Travis, come here.”
As his teammates “oohed” behind him, Kelce, almost sheepishly, approached the podium.
“My fellow Americans, it’s nice to see you all yet again,” Kelce said. “Uh, I’m not going to lie, President Biden, they told me if I came up here I’d get tased, so I’m going to go back to my spot.”
Kelce’s antics got his older brother’s stamp of approval.
“Man, Im not gonna lie, that was tight,” former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce wrote on X. “Well done @tkelce, doesn’t get much cooler than that!
