President Biden will welcome the Super Bowl champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers to the White House on Tuesday, CNN reports.

Why it matters: The White House visit marks the first from a Super Bowl Champion team since 2017 and a return to normalcy following the enduring coronavirus pandemic.

In 2018, former President Donald Trump uninvited the Philadelphia Eagles, citing protests during the National Anthem.
The winners of the 2019 and 2020 Super Bowl did not attend the White House ceremony, though politics was not cited as the reason behind the decisions.
