Donald Trump predicts the fate of Jordan Love's Packers in 2024 NFL season
Former United States President Donald Trump believes the Green Bay Packers will have a lot of success in 2024. Green Bay lost to the San Francisco 49ers in the divisional round of the playoffs last season.
Entering 2024, the Packers have some hype behind them following the play of quarterback Jordan Love. They also added former Las Vegas Raiders starting running back Josh Jacobs.
While speaking at a Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Trump praised the Packers going into 2024.
"Green Bay is gonna have a good team this year, right? They’re gonna have a good team."
Trump's comments about the Packers got plenty of cheers, especially after Republican Michigan Rep. John James teased the crowd about the Detroit Lions earlier in the week.
"Good evening Wisconsin. Warmest regards from Detroit, home of the NFC North champion Detroit Lions," James said.
Those comments were met with boos, while Trump's praise of the Packers was more well-received.
