“Ratings gold” – Trump offers to replace Biden for Super Bowl interview
Former President Donald Trump has offered to step in and replace President Joe Biden for a Super Bowl interview slot after Biden declined the opportunity to participate in the annual tradition.
Trump’s proposal came shortly after Fox News suggested that he fill the void left by Biden’s absence.
In a post on his conservative social media platform, Truth Social, Trump sarcastically applauded Biden’s decision to skip the Super Bowl interview with CBS, citing the President’s alleged difficulty in stringing together coherent sentences.
He then expressed his own willingness to take Biden’s place, predicting that such a move would result in “RATINGS GOLD!”
Trump’s eagerness to participate in a Super Bowl interview contrasts with his past actions. In 2018, he declined a similar offer before the Philadelphia Eagles defeated the New England Patriots 41-33.
However, he later embraced the tradition, conducting Super Bowl interviews, including during the 2020 election season when he faced Joe Biden as his opponent.
Low approval
Earlier on Monday, during a segment on “Fox & Friends,” host Carley Shimkus discussed why President Biden might have chosen to forego the Super Bowl interview, especially considering his low approval ratings leading up to the 2024 election.
Joe Concha, a contributor to the show, criticized the decision, describing it as a weak and unconvincing excuse.
Concha suggested that Biden’s avoidance of the interview was not due to the timing but rather reflected the reluctance of his handlers to expose him to an unscripted camera appearance.
Concha emphasized the significance of the Super Bowl, both the game itself and the pregame coverage, as one of the most-watched events of the year.
Given President Biden’s historically low polling numbers three years into his term, Concha argued that he should seize the opportunity to communicate his message and make a case for reelection.
The Super Bowl interview has traditionally been an occasion for sitting presidents to engage with the American public and discuss various topics, including politics, sports, and culture. President Biden’s decision to abstain from this event has prompted both political discussion and offers from his predecessor, Donald Trump, to take his place.
