President Donald Trump is set to visit Philadelphia this weekend for the NCAA’s Division I Men’s Wrestling Championship.
The announcement came via a post by Clay Travis, a conservative radio talk show host and founder of OutKick, a pro-Trump media outlet. Travis said be traveling with Trump on Air Force One to the championships in Philadelphia this weekend, at the Wells Fargo Center.
The tournament will run from Thursday to Saturday, although it is not confirmed which day Trump will be traveling to Philadelphia.
While Pennsylvania was a frequent stop for the 2024 presidential campaign for Trump and Democratic nominee, then-Vice President Kamala Harris, this appears to be the first visit from Trump to the commonwealth since being sworn-in to a second term.

Trump and multiple Pennsylvania elected officials were in attendance for the Philadelphia Eagles victory in Super Bowl LIX over the Kansas City Chiefs in New Orleans. The Eagles will visit the White House on April 28 to celebrate their Super Bowl victory, after turning down an invitation during Trump’s first term following their victory in Super Bowl LII in 2018 over the New England Patriots.
U.S. Sen. Dave McCormick (R-Pa.), an ally of Trump, was one of several senators to fly with Trump on Air Force One to the game. McCormick, a U.S. Army veteran, also joined Trump for the Army-Navy annual college football game in December.
It is not clear if McCormick, who wrestled at West Point and was to co-captain, or other Pennsylvania elected officials will be joining Trump in Philadelphia, this weekend.
