Donald Trump will attend NCAA wrestling championships with Clay Travis
President Donald Trump is planning to attend the NCAA wrestling championships in Philadelphia this weekend, according to a social media post by conservative talk-radio host and Outkick founder Clay Travis.
Travis announced on his X account that he would be traveling with Trump on Air Force One to attend the event and wrote that it was part of the White House's new media initiative. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt appeared to confirm Trump's appearance in Philadelphia for the NCAA wrestling event when she reposted Travis' tweet with the message: "See you this weekend!"
The 2025 NCAA Wrestling Championships begin Thursday at Wells Fargo Center, and the double-elimination format runs until Saturday night's championship finals. Trump previously attended the NCAA wrestling championships in 2023 and has been a frequent guest at UFC events with UFC CEO and campaign supporter Dana White.
Penn State is considered the favorite this year to win its fourth-straight NCAA championship in wrestling under coach Cael Sanderson. Current and former members of the Penn State wrestling team previously joined Trump on stage during an October 2024 Presidential campaign rally in State College, Pennsylvania.
