Donald Trump will attend Alabama-Georgia game, campaign says
Donald Trump will be in Tuscaloosa’s Bryant-Denny Stadium on Sept. 28 when the Alabama Crimson Tide takes on Georgia, Trump’s campaign officials confirmed Wednesday.
Talk of his attendance at the highly anticipated match-up has been circulating since the weekend.
On Wednesday, Sen. Katie Britt tweeted, “Looking forward to hosting President Trump and @SteveDaines in Tuscaloosa next weekend. #RollTide.”

Earlier this week, Alabama Republican Party Chairman John Wahl confirmed the possibility of Trump attending the game.
“I am aware that Donald Trump was looking into the possibilities of attending the Alabama-Georgia game. Obviously, the Republican Party’s very excited about that possibility,” Wahl told AL.com on Monday.
“”The people of Alabama and Donald Trump have a special relationship, and we are always thrilled when he has a chance to visit our state,” Wahl said.
It was not initially known if Sunday’s apparent attempted assassination of the former president in Florida would derail those plans.
Trump attended two Alabama games while president, and the Tide have gone .500 when the former president is watching in person.
While Alabama is hardly a swing state, Georgia will be hotly contested in 2024 and is crucial to Donald Trump’s chances of winning the White House in the November election against his Democratic opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris.
Should Trump be in the stands at Bryant-Denny later this month, it will mark his second time at the Tuscaloosa stadium and his third time appearing at an Alabama game.
Trump appeared on the field during the national anthem before Alabama and Georgia kicked off in the 2018 College Football Playoff final in January 2019 in Atlanta, when Tua Tagovailoa found DeVonta Smith for a walk-off win in overtime.

GEORGIA, Ga. (WALB) — A new bill introduced to the Georgia Senate could create a constitutional amendment to restrict voting to legal U.S. citizens.
The bill, Senate Resolution 4EX says, “No person who is not a citizen of the United States shall be entitled to vote at any election by the people.”
If passed, Georgians will vote on the constitutional amendment in the November election.
Georgia Secretary of State, Brad Raffensperger said “I have been calling on the legislature for years to pass this amendment to the state constitution. I am glad to see the legislature finally act to ensure only American citizens are voting in our elections.”
According to Raffensperger, Georgia was the first state in the nation to conduct citizen verification of voter rolls. Since 2022, Raffensperger’s office conducted two citizenship audits of Georgia’s voter rolls.
SR 4EX Text
“Casting a vote is one of the most important elements of American citizenship. Any illegal vote dilutes the value of a citizen’s lawfully cast ballot. U.S. Citizens should decide Georgia elections. Period. I urge the legislature to pass this important legislation.”
The state uses information from the Georgia Department of Driver Services (DDS) to identify people who are non-citizens. This data is based on documents provided to DDS, through its REAL ID drivers licenses or state identification cards.
That information is also ran through the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) program to verify an individual’s citizenship status.
