As the Secret Service deals with another potential assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump, his upcoming schedule poses a new challenge for security personnel - a highly anticipated college football game.
Trump is set to travel to Tuscaloosa, Alabama on Saturday, September 28, to attend the Alabama-Georgia game, as reported by sources familiar with the matter. This visit marks his return to the state for a game, albeit with a smaller security detail compared to when he was in office.
The game will take place in a stadium that can accommodate over 100,000 people, prompting university officials to plan for Trump's attendance along with his staff and security team. During his previous visit to Tuscaloosa, Trump watched the game from a box, and it is expected that he will do the same this time.
Despite the recent assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania, Trump's trip to the football game is currently proceeding as planned. However, there is uncertainty whether the security concerns following the second shooting incident will impact his visit. Notably, there has been an increase in Trump's security measures since the first attempt, including a heightened security presence and the use of ballistic glass during public appearances.
