    Donald Trump visits the Alabama-Georgia football game

    TUSCALOOSA – People lined the gates of Tuscaloosa National Airport on Saturday awaiting the arrival of Donald Trump.

    Last Thursday, the University of Alabama confirmed that the former president and current Republican presidential candidate would attend Alabama’s first SEC game against Georgia.

    It won’t be the first time Trump has watched the Crimson Tide. It also won’t be the first time Alabama plays against Georgia.

    While in office, Trump made it to Atlanta to witness Alabama claim the national championship against the Bulldogs in the 2018 College Football Playoff national championship game, better known to Crimson Tide fans as “second-and-26.” .

    Trump’s first appearance at Bryant-Denny Stadium was in 2019 for Alabama’s game against No. 2 LSU. That night, Joe Burrow and the Tigers defeated the Crimson Tide 46-41, third-ranked Alabama’s only loss that season. LSU went on to win the 2020 national championship in a game against Clemson, one of six college football games Trump would attend during his time in office.

    This live story will be updated with new information and photos.

    Donald Trump wrapped up his campaign visit to Wisconsin around 4 p.m. and shortly thereafter departed on his flight to Tuscaloosa for the Alabama vs. Georgia.

    According to ABC 33/40, Trump’s plane will land at Birmingham-Shuttlesworth Airport ahead of his appearance in Alabama-Georgia.

    Trump arrives in Tuscaloosa with delay. He was originally expected to land at 5:45 p.m., but he had to change his plans after learning that the Tuscaloosa National Airport runway was too short for the plane that was originally scheduled to land.

    Trump’s motorcade makes way for Nick Saban Field at Bryant-Denny Stadium.
