Following his achievement as the first president since Grover Cleveland to secure a nonconsecutive second term—winning both the Electoral College with 312 votes and the popular vote—Trump announced that the Eagles would receive an invitation. This came after they won the game, a event he had attended.
He stated, “We will extend an invitation. Although we haven’t done so yet, we definitely plan to. Their performance was fantastic, and without question, they’ll receive this invite,” he remarked, then requested of another person, “please make sure you do that promptly.” He added, “we aim to get it done later today. They should come down here; we really look forward to seeing them again.”
The Eagles’ offensive leader and longtime player, Lane Johnson, stated that the team would consider visiting the White House should they win the Super Bowl, though he personally expressed his desire to make such a trip.
He stated, “It would be an honor to participate, irrespective of who holds the presidential office; however, we shall have to wait and observe. The final call rests with the team, and I will act in whatever manner benefits them most.”
The White House and the Eagles are now coordinating to set a date for the team’s visit, as it is typical for NFL teams to make such visits between May and June when meeting with the President.
