Thousands of students and fans packed in to greet former President Donald Trump at the highly anticipated Alabama-Georgia college football game on Saturday.
Trump had confirmed he would be attending the historic match-up earlier this month, keeping in line with the former president’s tradition of attending college football games on the campaign trail. Trump attended several games while campaigning in the Republican primary, and he also traveled to several games during his presidency, including the national championship game in 2017 and 2020.
On Saturday, the security presence was felt ahead of the former president’s arrival. In the wake of two attempts on his life in the last 100 days — one of which left Trump wounded and killed one of his supporters — Secret Service could be seen taking extra precautions ahead of the game.
