President Donald Trump is attending the final rounds of the 2024-25 NCAA wrestling championships in Philadelphia Saturday.
For the president, it marks another stop on his tour of major sporting events in what has been a sports-focused presidency.
Trump will be there to potentially witness sports history. Penn State is looking to run up a streak of four straight national titles. It would be the third time Penn State has won four straight championships since 2011. Only Iowa and Ohio State have interrupted the Nittany Lions’ run of dominance.
And Penn State is firmly in the driver’s seat to do it, leading with 169 points, 60 points ahead of second-place Nebraska.
“We’re going to the big fight. … They have the NCAA, world, wrestling for college. And I’ve always supported the wrestlers”, Trump told reporters outside the White House Friday. “So, I want to support them. These are the great college wrestlers from the various schools. I think Penn State is leading, and Nebraska is in second place right now. And a lot of good things.”
OutKick co-founder Clay Travis broke the news Tuesday that Trump would attend the event when he said in an X post that he would be traveling with the president on Air Force One to the championships.
