Trump declines ESPN invite to fill out NCAA bracket on-air

(AP) President Donald Trump won’t be filling out an NCAA Tournament bracket on ESPN this March, unlike his predecessor, Barack Obama.

ESPN spokesman Josh Krulewitz says the network expressed its “interest to the White House in continuing the presidential bracket. They have respectfully declined.”

Trump did make a prediction on the Super Bowl, picking New England to win by eight points.

White House spokeswoman Hope Hicks told The Washington Post in an email, “We look forward to working with ESPN on another opportunity in the near future.”
