President-elect Donald Trump is expected to attend the Army-Navy football game, according to two people who were granted anonymity to discuss the plans.

The game, set for Dec. 14 in Landover, Maryland, will be the 125th in the series. Trump attended the game as president-elect in 2016 and three times while he was president.

President Joe Biden has not attended the traditional match-up between the two military academies, though commanders in chief in recent years have appeared at the game (he did attend while he was vice president in 2012).

That tradition dates back to 1901, when Theodore Roosevelt attended. In a sign of neutrality, he spent half of the game on the Army side and half on the Navy side, according to a Washington Post report at the time.
