During the Kansas City Chiefs‘ meeting with President Joe Biden, tight end Travis Kelce was planning to say something, which could have made the crowd burst into laughter. This amusing moment took place as Kelce and quarterback Patrick Mahomes, the team’s star players, made their visit to the famous 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. But what did Kelce want to say?

After posing for a photo on stage alongside President Biden, Kelce, who was dressed in a red suit and black shirt, made his way toward the podium adorned with the Presidential seal. He wanted to address the crowd gathered there. However, before he could begin speaking, Patrick Mahomes playfully nudged Travis Kelce away from the podium at the White House.
