As fans eagerly await\u2062 the big game, there has been speculation about which high-profile figures \u2062will make appearances \u200bduring the pregame coverage. However, CBS\u200b Sports recently announced\u2063 that former President Donald Trump will \u2062not be doing a Super Bowl pregame interview, despite expressing interest in doing so.<\/p>\n<p>The decision by CBS Sports comes after President Joe Biden also declined the offer to appear before millions of viewers on\u2064 TV prior to the game. CBS Sports Chairman \u2064Sean McManus emphasized that the focus should be on\u2062 the football pregame\u200c show, rather than politics: &#8220;We&#8217;re producing a football pregame show, not a political show,&#8221; he stated during a press conference in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n<p>McManus further reiterated this sentiment when asked about Trump&#8217;s potential participation:\u2062 &#8220;I \u200ddon&#8217;t want to get into the politics,\u200c we&#8217;re here to talk \u200dabout the game,&#8221; he said. He also mentioned that the White House declined the opportunity for Biden to appear.<\/p>\n<p>This is not the\u200d first time President Biden has declined a Super Bowl interview request. Last\u200c year, he also turned\u200d down a request from FOX News. The White House Press Secretary, Karine Jean-Pierre, defended Biden&#8217;s decision, noting that most viewers \u2064tune in to \u2062watch the game itself, not political discussions: &#8220;The viewers who tune in\u2014they tune in to watch the game, right? They want to see the\u2062 game, they want to see their favorite team, they want to see a halftime show.&#8221; She added that the \u200cPresident will find other \u200bways to communicate\u200b with Americans\u2063 when the time is right.<\/p>\n<p>In recent television interviews, President Biden has appeared alongside \u200dFirst Lady Jill Biden.\u200d These\u200b interviews included the Macy&#8217;s Thanksgiving Day Parade with Al Roker and the New Year&#8217;s Eve Program with Ryan Seacrest.<\/p>\n<p>As the Super Bowl approaches,\u2063 football fans around the world can look forward\u2062 to a thrilling match between the\u200d San Francisco 49ers and the \u200bKansas City Chiefs.
