A former president could be making his way to Tuscaloosa for Alabama football’s next home game.
According to a report by Mark Halperin, an author and journalist who currently works for Newsmax, Donald Trump is planning on attending Alabama vs. Georgia Sept. 28 at Bryant-Denny Stadium.
The Alabama football program and University of Alabama police have not responded to a request for comment. A city of Tuscaloosa spokesman said Trump’s visit is “unconfirmed.”
The Alabama football team has been a frequent visitor of the White House, having visited during the Bill Clinton, Barack Obama and Trump administrations.
