President Joe Biden has extended an invitation to the Kansas City Chiefs to visit the White House on May 31. The occasion is to commemorate their impressive back-to-back Super Bowl victories, with the most recent win being a thrilling overtime victory against the San Francisco 49ers earlier this year.
This visit will mark the second time the Chiefs have been invited to the White House by President Biden. The first invitation followed their Super Bowl win last year, where Biden commended the team not only for their athletic prowess but also for their charitable endeavors.

Biden is anticipated to have an uncomfortable encounter with Harrison Butker, who recently criticized the President’s stance on abortion
However, this upcoming visit may be marked by a degree of tension due to recent comments made by Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker. Butker, during a commencement speech at Benedictine College, took aim at Biden’s stance on abortion, accusing him of supporting the “murder of innocent babies.” He also made controversial statements about women and the LGBTQ+ community.
Butker’s comments have sparked backlash, and his teammate Travis Kelce has distanced himself from them. While acknowledging Butker as a valued teammate, Kelce emphasized that he does not agree with the majority of Butker’s views expressed during the speech.
