Donald Trump coming to Georgia vs. Alabama game in Tuscaloosa on Sept. 28, his team confirms
Former President Donald Trump is going to the Georgia verses Alabama game in Tuscaloosa on Sept. 28, according to his team.
Alabama GOP Chairman John Wahl stated on Monday that he "was considering" going before his team confirmed to 米兰体育 13 on Wednesday.
"I don't know if the recent assassination attempt affects those plans," Wahl said. "I certainly hope that it does not and I certainly hope that if he is able to make it he could come to Alabama, because Donald Trump is always welcome in Alabama."

Local authorities said the U.S. Secret Service agents protecting Trump fired at a man pointing an AK-style rifle with a scope as Trump was playing on one of his Florida golf courses in West Palm Beach.
Alabama fans are excited about the possibility of seeing the presidential nominee at the game.
"I think that would be awesome," Alabama student Tommy Macrae said. "I think everyone would love to see him in the stadium and he'll definitely have everyone fired up for the game."
This wouldn't be a first for his secret service team. Trump attended Alabama games before when he attended the game against LSU when he was president.
Alabama lost that game 46-41. Several fans said that won't be the case next weekend.
"Come on we're the Tide, it's DeBoer, we're going to win," UA student Will Burns said. "We're going to win against UGA, we're going to win against Oklahoma, we're going to win against Auburn."
Saturday, Sept. 28, will be the first matchup against Georgia for Alabama under Kalen DeBoer. It is a highly anticipated SEC game.
