Jalen Hurts wouldn’t have said if the reigning champions were planning to join the Eagles when they visited the White House Monday.
While talking “time” on the red carpet Thursday at the Time 100 Gala in New York, the Eagles quarterback appeared to be stuck when asked about President Trump’s invitation.
“Um,” said the 26-year-old before his long break.
He looked away, licked his lips, and said nothing else.
The reporter moved things and said, “I got it, thank you very much.”
Hurts joined Gala as it was on the list of 100 most influential people of 2025.
The Eagles received a public invitation from Trump to visit the White House on February 9th after a 40-22 chief at the Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans.
Attending the match at Caesars Superdome, Trump made history as the first president to attend the Super Bowl while holding his office.
The Eagles did not accept an invitation to the White House during Trump’s first presidency, after winning the Super Bowl in 2018.
Trump cancelled the team’s invitation before the visit National Anthem Dispute -As some members of the roster that he won the Super Bowl at the time said, “Because they are against the president, they proudly insist that they hold hands, so they don’t agree with their president.”
At the time, reports stated that many players refused to invite.
White House press chief Karoline Leavitt announced last month that the Eagles will be “enjoyed and seen here on April 28th.”
Hurts generally wears his lips tight to avoid controversy, so his non-answer may not clearly mean he is skipping the event.
It was a huge week for pain from the field.
The Jordanian brand athlete revealed in a cover interview with “Men’s Health” released on Tuesday that he was married to his fiancee, Bry Burrows.
