On Saturday, December 14, the greatest rivalry in sports will take place as the Navy Midshipmen (8-3) take on the Army Black Knights (11-1) in the 135th Army-Navy game in Landover, Maryland.
President Trump, understanding the honor and tradition of this American experience, is expected to attend the game as he has done many times in the past, unlike his predecessors, Barack Obama and Joe Biden.
Obama only attended one game in 2011 and Joe Biden has not bothered showing his support once as Commander in Chief, although he did attend as Vice President in 2012.

President Trump attended the 2016 game as President-Elect and three times while he was President, each time receiving a boisterous and enthusiastic welcome from the crowd.
Vice President-elect JD Vance will also be in attendance and has invited former Marine Daniel Penny, who was acquitted of criminally negligent homicide in the death of convicted felon Jordan Neely.
New: VP-Elect JD Vance has invited Daniel Penny to be his personal guest at the Army-Navy game this weekend, per source familiar.
They will be joining President Trump in his suite at the game.

Notus reports, “The two will be in President-elect Donald Trump’s suite at the Washington Commanders stadium in Maryland.”
Vance responded to news of his invitation on X saying, “Daniel’s a good guy, and New York’s mob district attorney tried to ruin his life for having a backbone.”
“I’m grateful he accepted my invitation and hope he’s able to have fun and appreciate how much his fellow citizens admire his courage.”
