NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- President Trump was initially expected to attend the Week 6 NFL game between the Steelers and Buccaneers in Tampa but ultimately did not make the trip.
- This would have been Trump's third NFL game attendance during his current term, following Super Bowl LIX and a Lions-Commanders regular-season game last year.
- Trump was the first sitting president in nearly 50 years to attend a regular-season NFL game when he attended the Lions-Commanders matchup in Maryland.
- Two years ago, Trump attended a Jets-Steelers game shortly before the election that secured his second term.
- It is uncertain if Trump will attend any NFL games before the midterm elections, with the Commanders scheduled to host the Eagles on November 1, just two days before in-person voting begins.
