President Trump to Attend NCAA Wrestling Championships in Philadelphia

Marking a historic first, Trump becomes the first sitting president to attend the NCAA wrestling finals, held in a key battleground state.

The NCAA Division I wrestling championships begin today at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia and run through Saturday.
President Donald Trump, confirmed to attend, continues his pattern of engaging with high-profile sporting events during his presidency.
This visit marks Trump's first trip to Pennsylvania since starting his second term in January 2025, highlighting the political symbolism of his presence in a Democrat-led city.
Penn State, a dominant force in collegiate wrestling, is aiming for its fourth consecutive championship title at this event.
The championships return to Philadelphia for the first time since 2011, with future plans to be held in a football stadium for the first time in 2028.
