President Donald Trump turned Game 3 of the NBA Finals into something of a White House road trip Monday night. He arrived at Madison Square Garden with a notable entourage in tow.
Joining Tump in the suite were White House Deputy Chief of Staff Dan Scavino, EP Administrator Lee Zeldin, Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy and Trump's granddaughter, Kai Trump.
CNN reported that his son-in-law Jared Kuschner was also in the suite.
Trump made history as the first sitting president to attend an NBA Finals game.
The group settled into owner James Dolan's suite as the Knicks looked to extend their series lead to 3-0 over the San Antonio Spurs.
As the national anthem began, cheers of "USA, USA, USA," started, but when Trump was shown on the in-arena video boards midway through he was loudly booed. He saluted and smiled as the boos grew, Dolan and Kai Trump stood next to him. Dolan seemed to smirk at the boos.
Trump received just 30.4% of the vote in his native New York City during the 2024 election. Trump grew up in Queens.
