Donald Trump set to invite Patrick Mahomes and Chiefs for White House visit following Super Bowl LIX loss to Eagles

Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs' quest to become the first team to three-peat as Super Bowl winners was crushed brutally as the Philadelphia Eagles beat them 40-22 on Feb. 9. Not only did the loss cost them a Lombardi Trophy but also a trip to the White House to celebrate the victory.

However, President Donald Trump has decided to invite Mahomes and the Chiefs to commemorate their Super Bowl 54 win over the San Francisco 49ers. The team couldn't visit the White House to celebrate the win in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic and President Trump, who was in his first tenure as President, planned a belated ceremony to honor that win.

In a telephonic interview with the Outkick's Clay Travis, he said:

"I look forward to having the [Philadelphia] Eagles. And one other thing, we're going to have the Kansas City Chiefs after that because they missed their turn because of COVID." [3:59]

Eagles White House visit: Super Bowl champions to visit Washington

After their Super Bowl win in 2018, several Eagles players turned down the opportunity to visit the White House to celebrate the victory with President Donald Trump due to his stark criticism of players kneeling during the national anthem to protest police brutality. He rescinded their invitation, causing a massive controversy.

In the lead-up to Super Bowl 59, rumors swirled that the Eagles had already decided to skip the White House visit if they beat the Kansas City Chiefs. However, offensive lineman Lane Johnson dispelled the rumor and claimed that the team would hold a vote to decide whether they should visit Washington to celebrate their win.

On March 11th, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt revealed that President Trump had extended an invite to the Eagles to visit the nation's capital to celebrate their win and the franchise had accepted it. She said:

"I know there was a lot of fake news about an invitation that wasn't sent or was sent, we want to correct the record: we sent an invitation, they enthusiastically accepted, and you will see them here on April 28."

Philadelphia seemingly opted not to continue its boycott of President Trump and will visit the White House for the first time as Super Bowl champions.
