Overview

  • The White House extended an official invitation for the Harbaughs to visit the Oval Office, according to a USA Today report.
  • No details about the meeting’s agenda or discussions were released by the administration or the coaches.
  • The visit follows a pattern of nonpartisan honors afforded to championship teams and prominent coaches at the White House.
  • John Harbaugh’s limited political commentary in recent years contrasts with his 2015 support for a border wall and his 2017 defense of anthem protests.
  • Both brothers previously visited the White House under President Obama—John in 2013 and Jim in 2015—and neither endorsed a candidate in the 2024 election.
