White House Press Secretary Carolyn Leavitt revealed which Super Bowl halftime show President Donald Trump prefers to watch this Sunday.

Grammy Award-winning Bad Bunny will perform during the official Super Bowl halftime show for Sunday’s game in Santa Clara, California.

However, concern among conservatives over Bad Bunny’s apparent “woke” values ​​prompted Turning Point USA (TPUSA) to plan its own “all-American” halftime for Sunday, headlined by country/rock artist Kid Rock.

Leavitt suggested that Trump come to watch the TPUSA show.

“I think the President would prefer a Kid Rock performance than a Bad Bunny performance. I have to say this,” Leavitt told reporters at a White House press briefing on Thursday.

Leavitt also said the president is not picking a team to win Sunday’s game between the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks. But he revealed his basic interest.

Leavitt said, “The President has wisely decided not to make a prediction on Sunday night’s game, but as a native New Hampshire girl, go Patriots.”

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell answered questions about Bad Bunny possibly making a political statement during the Super Bowl halftime show during a press conference on Monday.

Goodell said, “Listen, Bad Bunny, and I think this was demonstrated last night, is one of the great artists in the world, and that’s one of the reasons we picked him.” “But the other reason is he understood the platform he was on, and using this platform to unite people and bring people together with his creativity, his talent, and to be able to use this moment to do that. And I think artists in the past have done that.

“I think Bad Bunny understands that, and I think he’s going to have a great performance.”
