Trump's attendance at Steelers-Bucs game canceled due to schedule change
Summary

President Trump's expected attendance at the Week 6 NFL game between the Steelers and Buccaneers in Tampa has been canceled after a change in his schedule. CNN reported that this would have marked his third NFL game during his presidency. Trump previously attended the Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans and a Lions-Commanders game last year, making him the first sitting president in nearly 50 years to attend a regular-season game. With the midterm elections approaching in 20 days, it remains uncertain if he will attend another game before the polls open.
