President Trump Attends Regular Season NFL Game
LANDOVER, Md. (AP) – President Donald Trump has become the first sitting president in nearly a half-century at a regular-season NFL game when he attended the Washington Commanders’ contest against the Detroit Lions on Sunday. Details from Reporter Bernie Bennett.
VERBATIM:
House Speaker Mike Johnson was among those who joined President Trump in a suite at Northwest Stadium. Before the president’s arrival, he flew over the stadium in Air Force One. Only two other times did a president go to an NFL game during the regular season while in office: Richard Nixon in 1969 and Jimmy Carter in 1978. Mr. Trump became the first president at a Super Bowl while residing in the White House last February.
