For decades, a tradition has seen the President of the United States sit down for an interview with the network airing the Super Bowl. However, Joe Biden opted out for the last two years, but Donald Trump is set to revive this custom. Fox is broadcasting Super Bowl LIX this Sunday, featuring a matchup between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles, and Trump has agreed to a sit-down interview that will be aired before the game.
On Monday, Fox News announced that President Donald Trump will participate in a wide-ranging interview with anchor Bret Baier, discussing various topics including the changes within his administration since he took office last month. “Fox News Channel’s chief political anchor Bret Baier will conduct a wide-ranging interview with President Donald Trump during the Fox Super Bowl Sunday pregame show on February 9,” Fox News revealed. The pre-taped interview was conducted at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, and will air in the 3 p.m. ET hour on Super Bowl Sunday. During the discussion, Baier will ask Trump about the changes enacted since the Inauguration and the first 100 days of his presidency.
This will be the first presidential interview since 2022, as Biden has opted out of the tradition for the past two years. Additionally, this marks Trump’s second interview with Fox News since taking office last month, following his conversation with Sean Hannity in January. However, it will be Baier’s first one-on-one interview with Trump since June 2023.
In terms of the game, the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles will face off in a highly anticipated rematch of Super Bowl LVII, where the Chiefs claimed victory following the 2023 season. If the Chiefs win on Sunday night, they will make history as the first team ever to secure three consecutive Super Bowl championships.
