Alabama vs. Georgia is always one of the biggest games in college football, and this year's contest will have a former president in attendance.
Current Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump will be inside Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa, Alabam, on Sept. 28 to watch the Crimson Tide take on the Bulldogs. The news was confirmed by person with knowledge of Trump's campaign schedule to Tuscaloosa News, part of the USA TODAY Network.
The 45th President of the United States frequently attends sporting events, and even did so when he was in office. He has been at the annual Army-Navy game, the College Football Playoff national championship game and even the World Series. He recently attended the Coca-Cola 600 NASCAR race and is frequently spotted at UFC events.
In addition to the 2018 national championship game, Trump has seen the Crimson Tide at home before. He was at the star-studded matchup in 2019 between Alabama and LSU in Tuscaloosa. There, he was cheered when he was shown inside the stadium jumbotron. It was the first time a sitting president attended an Alabama football home game.
Trump was the subject of an apparent assassination attempt at his Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida on Sunday. The suspect, who authorities said never fired a shot, was arrested and Trump was not harmed.
John Wahl, a chairman of the Alabama Republican Party, said in a statement to Tuscaloosa News he doesn't know if the incident will change Trump's planned visit, but he is "extremely excited" about the idea of Trump attending the game.
"The people of Alabama have a special relationship with Donald Trump and the Republican Party is always excited to welcome him to our state," Wahl said.
Both Alabama and Georgia have this week off before their highly-anticipated matchup.
