The president commended Chiefs on its second consecutive Super Bowl victory
Kansas City Chiefs visit the White House after Super Bowl victory
Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy has the latest on the visit after kicker Harrison Butker criticized President Biden in his commencement address at Benedictine College on 'The Story.'
The Kansas City Chiefs have made another trip to the White House.
President Joe Biden hosted the reigning back-to-back Super Bowl champions on the South Lawn of the White House on Friday to commemorate their most recent title. Travis Kelce was on hand for the festivities, but this time the president invited the star tight end to speak at the podium.
"My fellow Americans…," he said. "I’m going to be honest President Biden, they told me I’d get tased if I came up here, so I’m going back to my spot."
Last year, Kelce approached the podium and said, "So, I’ve been waiting for this," before quarterback Patrick Mahomes intervened.

During a June 2023 edition of "New Heights," Kelce shared some details about what he planned to do at the podium during last year's White House visit.
"Obviously, the president, at the podium, it’s iconic, and how he addresses the public — ‘to my fellow Americans.’ That’s all I wanted to say, dude," Kelce said.

Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker, who rallied against the president over his stance on abortion during a commencement speech, also made the trip to the White House. But, Biden did not acknowledge the kicker or any criticism that was mentioned in the speech.
The Chiefs have been open about their hopes of winning a third consecutive Super Bowl. Earlier this month, Mahomes reaffirmed his belief that his team will contend for another title in 2024.
"Next year in New Orleans, we’re going to do it again," Mahomes declared during an appearance with Logan Paul on the "Impaulsive" podcast. "Put it on the table. We’re going to do it again. I’m telling you now."
Kansas City opens the NFL season on Sept. 5, when they host the Baltimore Ravens.
