Trump said Fox News“Brett Byer highlights QB Patrick Mahomes' success while watching both teams in “I have to go with Kansas City,” while highlighting Mahomes's wife, Brittany, is “a Trump fan, a Maga fan.”
However, millions of people who participated in the game ended their chances of making Chiefs history with the Eagles winning a 40-22 closing victory and trying to win three consecutive Super Bowl titles.
Nevertheless, Bucker was still in good spirits during his visit to the White House and met Donald Trump in his oval office. The professional soccer player took a photo with White House press secretary Caroline Leavitt.
“Harrison Bucker stopped by the White House today, and the president would have been happy to say hello,” a White House official said. Fox News.
Additionally, White House aide Margo Martin posted a photo of Backer and Trump in an oval office on social media, saying, “Kicking @Buttkicker7 goat meets President @RealdonaldTrump's goat.”
Butker has openly supported Trump throughout his 2024 campaign, and he was a leading advocate for the cause of pro-life, particularly stubborn Catholic.
“I support the president who will become the most pro-life president. I think Donald Trump is the most life-supporting president,” Backer said in October. “It's the topic that's the most important to me. I want us to fight for the most vulnerable people and for the fetus. That's what we should prioritize.”
Backer also made the headline last year when she gave an opening speech at the Benedicchin University opening ceremony after suggesting that female graduates should embrace the role of being “housewife” and mother.
In that speech, Butler repeatedly emphasized his Christian values – while Biden labeled himself Catholic, he called on former Democratic President Joe Biden about his pro-aboration views.
Backer also visited the White House in 2023.
During his visit, he wore a tie with cursive “Vulnerari Praesidio” printed on it. Vulnerari Praesidio is a Latin term that leads to “protecting the most vulnerable people” and refers to the fetus. He also wore a gold pin depicting the footprints of a 10-week-old baby.
