Vice President-elect JD Vance announced that Daniel Penny, the Marine veteran acquitted in a subway chokehold case, will join him at the Army-Navy game.
Penny was found not guilty of manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide in the death of Jordan Neely, a homeless man who boarded a train threatening violence.
Vance expressed his admiration for Penny’s courage and said he hoped he would enjoy the game.
Penny will attend the game with Trump and Vance. Gov. Ron DeSantis is also expected to be present.
The game has added significance this year due to the strong performance of both teams. The winner will receive the Commander-in-Chief’s Trophy.
Trump has attended the Army-Navy game four times previously, including during his presidency.
