Trump to Attend Alabama-Georgia Football Game

Former President Donald Trump will attend the highly anticipated college football matchup between the No. 4 Alabama Crimson Tide and the No. 2 Georgia Bulldogs on Sept. 28.

Former President Donald Trump will be in attendance at one of the most anticipated college football games of Week 5, according to political commentator Mark Halperin. Trump, the Republican candidate in this year's presidential election, will head to Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa to watch the Alabama Crimson Tide take on the Georgia Bulldogs on September 28.

Both the Crimson Tide and the Bulldogs are undefeated, making this early SEC rivalry game a significant one in terms of polling and College Football Playoff implications. The game will also mark Trump's first public appearance since the Secret Service opened fire on a concealed suspect who appeared to be aiming a rifle at the former president at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida.

The public appearance poses a potential security problem for the Secret Service, as thousands are expected to attend the game. However, this is not the first time Trump will attend a football game in Tuscaloosa. In 2019, while serving as president, Trump attended the Alabama-LSU game, where the Tigers defeated the Crimson Tide on the road, 46-41.

Trump received a standing ovation from the Crimson Tide faithful when he was spotted inside Bryant-Denny Stadium during a commercial break, and it is likely to happen again in the red state.

The Secret Service has been under scrutiny in recent weeks following two assassination attempts on Trump. The first attempt occurred at a July campaign rally in Pennsylvania, and the second occurred at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida.

In the aftermath of these incidents, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said that lawmakers were prepared to give the Secret Service more resources. Trump has also blamed the "rhetoric" of President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris for the latest assassination attempt.
