Travis Kelce insists he would have no problem returning to the White House with his Kansas City Chiefs teammates if Donald Trump is re-elected as president of the United States.
Kelce and the Chiefs were invited to the White House by Joe Biden last week, and the current president wanted to commemorate the team for its second consecutive Super Bowl win in February.

However, in the last episode of his and his brother Jason’s show New Heights PodcastTravis revealed that he will visit the White House “always” if he is invited “no matter who is in charge.”

‘It doesn’t matter what is happening in this world. It’s a great opportunity.

Swift endorsed Joe Biden in 2020 and has publicly expressed her disdain for Trump, even vowing to “oust” him from the White House four years ago.

They claimed that the singer and Kelce’s relationship, and even the Chiefs’ run to the Super Bowl, were artificially manufactured to promote Biden’s campaign.
