Alabama Senators Katie Britt and Tommy Tuberville are set to join former President Donald Trump at the Alabama-Georgia football game this Saturday in Tuscaloosa, as confirmed by their teams and a social media post.
Britt shared her plans to host Trump on X (formerly Twitter), with her communications director, Amy Hasenberg-Elliott, expressing Britt’s excitement about hosting the former president and Senator Steve Daines from Montana.
“She’s looking forward to an exciting game against Georgia and welcoming President Trump back to Alabama, where he’ll receive an amazing reception,” said Hasenberg-Elliott.
Britt, an Alabama graduate, is married to Wesley Britt, a former offensive lineman for the Crimson Tide and the New England Patriots.
Tuberville’s office also confirmed his attendance at Bryant-Denny Stadium with Trump, whom the senator has long supported.
This marks Trump’s third appearance at a major Alabama football game. He attended the 2017 national championship game in Atlanta, where Alabama defeated Georgia, and the 2019 Alabama-LSU game in Tuscaloosa.
Fans have shared mixed reactions to Trump’s visit on AL.com’s Alabama Crimson Tide Facebook page, with some welcoming the honor of his attendance, others concerned about traffic, and some speculating that he’s looking to rally support in Georgia, a crucial swing state in his race against Vice President Kamala Harris.
