UPDATE: President Donald Trump has confirmed he will attend the highly anticipated Army-Navy football game on December 13 at M&T Bank Stadium. This announcement comes during a Thanksgiving call with military service members, underscoring the event’s importance and his longstanding tradition of attending.
In a lively exchange, Trump responded to Army Sgt. Major Anderson, who asked whom he would bet on if given the choice. “I’ll be at the game, and I’m going to let you know right after the game who’s going to win,” Trump stated, hinting at the fierce rivalry between the Black Knights and Midshipmen. Both teams have shown strong performances this season, with Navy coming off a significant 31-13 victory last year.
The Army-Navy game, a storied tradition dating back to 1890, will be another chapter in a remarkable rivalry where Navy leads with 62 victories to Army’s 55, and seven games have ended in ties. The atmosphere is expected to be electric, as Trump noted, “That’s where we get a lot of cheers when we go in.”
This year’s match marks Trump’s sixth attendance in various capacities since taking office or during his presidency, including appearances in 2016, 2018, 2019, and 2020. His consistent presence at such events reflects his ongoing connection with military personnel and the American public.
Fans are eagerly awaiting this rivalry showdown, and with Trump in attendance, the stakes are even higher. As he prepares to engage with the crowd and the teams, many are left wondering which team he might favor.
As the date approaches, all eyes will be on Trump and the Army-Navy game, making it a must-watch event for sports fans and military supporters alike. This developing story will continue to unfold as more details emerge leading up to the kickoff.
