President Trump was cheered by sports fans Monday as he attended the College Football Playoff National Championship in Miami.
Trump waved to the crowd from a suite at Hard Rock Stadium during the singing of the national anthem ahead of the game between the Miami Hurricanes and Indiana Hoosiers.
The president’s daughter, Ivanka Trump, and at least three of his grandchildren were spotted in the suite with the commander-in-chief.

Kai Trump, the daughter of the president’s eldest son Don Jr. and an incoming University of Miami golfer, wore a cast on her arm and smiled as the camera focused on Trump’s booth.
“Melania and I congratulate the Indiana Hoosiers and the Miami Hurricanes on making it to the College Football Playoff National Championship,” the president said in a statement released by the White House.
“God bless the talented players and dedicated coaches, the families who love and support them, and the faithful fans who cheer them on,” Trump added. “May the best team win!”
Secretary of State Marco Rubio, a Miami native and Hurricanes fan, was seen on the sidelines of Hard Rock Stadium with his Secret Service detail before the pre-game festivities.
At one point, Rubio was reportedly chatting with Heisman-trophy-winning ex-quarterback Tim Tebow.
