KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) - For a second consecutive year, the Kansas City Chiefs will be President Joe Biden’s guest at the White House.

The president formally invited the winners of Super Bowl LVIII to celebrate their title by visiting him on Friday, May 31.

It will mark the second time the team will travel to the White House. In 2020, former President Donald Trump invited the team but they declined due to COVID-19 concerns.

Last year, quarterback Patrick Mahomes and tight end Travis Kelce presented a customized Chiefs jersey to Biden, which had his last name and number 46 – a reference to Biden’s service as the country’s 46th president – adorned on it.

During a moment widely shared on social media, Kelce, famous for his ability to hype up a crowd, attempted to speak into the microphone.

“I’ve been waiting for this...” Kelce said, before Mahomes quickly ushered him away from the microphone.
