Chiefs Return to White House Triumphant After Super Bowl Victory

The Kansas City Chiefs celebrated their consecutive Super Bowl victory with a visit to the White House, where President Biden hosted the team on the South Lawn. Notably, star tight end Travis Kelce took to the podium, continuing his playful yet respectful tradition.

The Kansas City Chiefs basked in the glory of their back-to-back Super Bowl victories with a triumphant visit to the White House on Friday. President Biden welcomed the reigning champions on the South Lawn to commemorate their latest title, marking the Chiefs' second presidential visit in as many years.

Travis Kelce, the beloved tight end, once again stole the show with his antics. Last year, he stepped up to the podium with a mischievous grin, uttering the iconic "So, I've been waiting for this" before being interrupted by quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

This year, Kelce's approach was equally memorable. "My fellow Americans," he began, "I'm going to be honest, President Biden - they told me I'd get tased if I came up here, so I'm going back to my spot."

The crowd erupted in laughter, and Jason Kelce, Travis' brother and former NFL center, couldn't resist poking fun on X, formerly Twitter: "Man, Im not gonna lie, that was tight. Well done @tkelce, doesn’t get much cooler than that!"

In a previous episode of their podcast "New Heights," Travis Kelce had hinted at his podium aspirations. "Obviously, the president, at the podium, it’s iconic, and how he addresses the public — ‘to my fellow Americans.’ That’s all I wanted to say, dude," he had mused.

While pop star Taylor Swift was absent from the White House celebration, having embarked on the European leg of her Eras Tour, she had been present at the 2024 Super Bowl and celebrated with the Chiefs on the field after their overtime victory over the San Francisco 49ers.

Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker, who had criticized President Biden's stance on abortion in a commencement speech, also made the trip to the White House. However, Biden did not acknowledge the kicker or any criticism mentioned in the speech.

Despite the political undertones, the Chiefs' visit to the White House was primarily a celebration of their remarkable achievements on the football field. Their hopes of winning a third consecutive Super Bowl remain high, and quarterback Patrick Mahomes boldly declared during an appearance on the "Impaulsive" podcast that the team would "do it again" in 2024.

The Chiefs will kick off the NFL season on September 5th when they host the Baltimore Ravens. Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X, formerly Twitter, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter for the latest updates and insights.
