President Donald Trump will attend Super Bowl 59 in New Orleans

President Donald Trump is planning to go to the Super Bowl.

The White House confirmed that Trump will attend Sunday's rematch between the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles in New Orleans, and the presence of a sitting United States President at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans will add another layer to the atmosphere surrounding Super Bowl 59. Security for this year's Super Bowl had already been enhanced in response to the deadly attack in New Orleans on Jan. 1 that killed 14 people, injured dozens more and forced the postponement of the Sugar Bowl.

The Super Bowl is coming to New Orleans for the first time since 2013 – and less than six weeks after Shamsud-Din Jabbar, 42, drove a truck into a crowded portion of the city's iconic French Quarter. Jabbar, a Texas resident and Army veteran, died in a shootout with police. Authorities later found an ISIS flag in the truck and investigated the attack as an act of terrorism.
