White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt revealed which Super Bowl halftime show President Donald Trump would prefer to watch this Sunday.
Grammy Award winner Bad Bunny will perform at the official Super Bowl halftime show in Santa Clara, California, for Sunday’s game. However, concern among conservatives about Bad Bunny’s apparent “Woke” values inspired Turning Point USA (TPUSA) to host its own “All-American” halftime show to be performed on Sunday, headlined by country/rock artist Kid Rock.

Leavitt suggested Trump would be tuning in to watch the TPUSA show.
“I think the president would prefer a Kid Rock performance to Bad Bunny. I have to say that,” Leavitt told reporters at the White House press conference Thursday.

Leavitt also said the president is not choosing one team to win Sunday’s game between the New England Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks. But she herself revealed her deep interest.
“The president has wisely chosen not to make a prediction about Sunday night’s game, but as a native New Hampshire girl, let’s go Patriots,” Leavitt added.
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell addressed questions about the possibility of Bad Bunny making a political statement during the Super Bowl LX halftime show during his press conference on Monday.

“Listen, Bad Bunny is, and I think that was demonstrated last night, one of the great artists in the world and that’s one of the reasons we picked him,” Goodell said. “But the other reason is that he understood the platform that he was on and this platform is used to bring people together and to be able to bring people together with their creativity, with their talents and to be able to use this moment to do that and I think artists in the past have done that.
“I think Bad Bunny understands that and I think he’ll have a great performance.”
