- Story Text: President Joe Biden welcomed the Kansas City Chiefs to the White House on Friday (May 31), congratulating the team on their back-to-back Super Bowl wins.
"Winning back to back, I kind of like that," Biden said, chuckling, as he spoke in front of the National Football League team on the White House's south lawn. Biden, a Democrat, faces a close rematch with Republican Donald Trump in November.
Biden congratulated the team for their resilience on the field, but also for team members' reaction during a shooting at a celebratory rally after their win. "Amid the chaos, this team stepped up again," he said.
He also joked with Travis Kelce, the team's star tight end, who is dating singer Taylor Swift, calling him up to the podium briefly.
"They told me if I came up here, I'd get tased," Kelce said, "so I'm going to go back to my spot."
Biden briefly donned a team helmet handed to him by Chiefs head coach Andy Reid before mingling in the crowd.
