In addition to reports confirming President Donald Trump’s attendance at this year’s Super Bowl, officials have confirmed that there are no credible threats expected to ensue after the New Orleans t-er-ro-r at-t-ack.

President Donald Trump is scheduled to attend the Super Bowl this Sunday in New Orleans, marking the first time a sitting U.S. president has made an appearance at the event. The game will feature the Philadelphia Eagles facing off against the Kansas City Chiefs.

The U.S. Secret Service has been actively preparing for Trump’s visit, with heightened security measures in place in order to ensure the safety of all attendees, players, and staff. Secret Service spokesperson Anthony Guglielmi shared that extra precautions have been implemented due to the historic nature of this visit.

“Extensive planning and coordination have been in place to ensure the safety of all attendees, players, and staff,” Guglielmi stated.

Apart from attending the game, Trump is scheduled to participate in an interview with Fox News’ Bret Baieras as part of the network’s pre-game coverage.

The interview will be recorded in Florida prior to the event, maintaining the tradition of presidents sitting down with the network broadcasting the Super Bowl—although both Trump and his predecessor, Joe Biden, have not consistently followed this practice.

Though Trump has not publicly endorsed a team, he hinted at his admiration for a certain player. “I don’t want to say, but there’s a certain quarterback that seems to be a pretty good winner,” he remarked when asked to predict the game’s outcome, seemingly referencing Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

Following Kansas City’s AFC Championship victory, Trump took to social media to congratulate the team. “Congratulations to the Kansas City Chiefs,” he posted.

He continued, “What a GREAT Team, Coach, Quarterback, and virtually everything else, including those fantastic FANS, that voted for me (MAGA!) in record numbers. Likewise, congratulations to the Buffalo Bills on a tremendous season. They will do a lot of winning long into the future!!!”

Super Bowl attendees can expect detailed security updates in the coming days when preparations continue for what will be a landmark moment in the game’s history.

When New Orleans prepares to host Super Bowl 59, officials have reassured the public that there are no credible threats to the game or its surrounding events. The reassurance comes after a terrorist attack on Bourbon Street claimed 14 lives on January 1, 2025.

At a press briefing, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem highlighted the extensive security measures in place.

“Right now we have no specific credible threats to this event … which I think should give us all a sense of security,” she stated. Noem highlighted the importance of pre-deploying resources and strengthening partnerships to ensure the safety of attendees.

NFL Chief of Security Cathy Lanier disclosed that in the wake of the attack, the league has re-evaluated and reinforced its security plans. “We have reassessed and stress-tested our timing, our communication protocols, our contingency measures and our emergency response plans multiple times over, over the past several weeks,” divulged Lanier.

More than 2,700 law enforcement personnel from federal, state, and local agencies is set to be deployed to secure the event. The stadium has also been designated a “no-drone zone” to prevent unauthorized aerial activity.

“Secret Service has been on the ground for days, working in close collaboration with federal, state, and local law enforcement partners, as well as the NFL, to implement a comprehensive security plan,” disclosed Guglielmi.
