Here’s Who Else Was Spotted In President Trump’s Suite At The Super Bowl

From the star-studded halftime show to the multimillion-dollar ads, there’s always a lot more than gridiron action going on during a Super Bowl.

But Sunday’s big game included the added bonus of trying to spot President Donald Trump, who became the first sitting president to attend a Super Bowl game in person.

Prior to taking his seat in a suite at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, Trump greeted a number of individuals, including Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones:

As the game started, Trump was flanked by a number of other high-profile spectators, as The Hill reported:

Before kickoff, Trump was seen speaking with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, New Orleans Saints owner Gayle Benson, and his daughter, Ivanka Trump.

Trump’s son, Eric, and his wife, Lara, were also seen standing next to Benson during the national anthem. To the right of Trump was Ivanka Trump and her son, Theodore.

Also sitting around the president were House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-Mo.), Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C. ), Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry, Prince Albert II of Monaco, and National Security Advisor Michael Waltz were also seen in the suite.

Trump traveled from Palm Beach, Florida, for the Super Bowl in New Orleans. He was joined by some of his children, as well as Rep. Tom Emmer (R-Minn.) and GOP Sens. Dave McCormick (Pa.), Graham, John Barrasso (Wyo.), Scott, Katie Britt (Ala.), Tommy Tuberville (Ala.), Roger Marshall (Kan.) and Schmitt, according to The Hill.

The president’s attendance drew cheers and applause at multiple points during the game.

Perhaps the most poignant moment, however, came when Trump met with local first responders and victims of the New Year’s Day terror attack on Bourbon Street.

Fox News provided additional coverage of that meeting:

Upon arriving at the Superdome on Sunday, Trump met with the families of multiple victims of the attack as well as members of the New Orleans Police Department and emergency personnel.

At least 14 people were killed in the Jan. 1 attack and 57 more were injured.

The 14 victims who were killed were 27-year-old former Princeton football player Tiger Bech, 26-year-old Drew Dauphin, 18-year-old Nikyra Dedeaux, 28-year-old single mother Nicole Perez, 37-year-old Reggie Hunter, 21-year-old Hubert Gauthreaux, Alabama student Kareem Bilal Badawi, 25-year-old Matthew Tenedorio, 25-year-old Billy DiMaio, 63-year-old Terrence Kennedy, 42-year-old Brandon Taylor, 40-year-old Elliot Wilkinson and 31-year-old Edward Pettifer.

The suspect in the attack was identified as 42-year-old Shamsud-Din Jabbar, a U.S. citizen from Texas and an Army veteran, who died after the attack in a firefight with police.

Some of the plaintiffs affected by the New Year’s terrorist attack on Bourbon Street in New Orleans have filed a civil negligence lawsuit against the city’s leadership and the private companies that were hired to consult the city about safety planning in the French Quarter.

In light of the recent attack and Trump’s presence at the game, here’s a look at some of the enhanced security measures in place around the stadium and across the Big Easy on Sunday:
