The acting director of the Secret Service pressed Trump’s appearance at the Alabama-Georgia game
Despite two assassination attempts in the past two months, former President Trump does not shy away from large crowds. In fact, he may soon meet his biggest crowd since his inauguration in 2021.
Trump, the Republican nominee for the third consecutive presidential election, said he will appear on September 28 in Tuscaloosa where he will face Alabama in the conference of last year’s SEC tournament.
Bryant-Denny Stadium, home of the Crimson Tide, has a capacity of more than 100,000, which likely creates a greater security.

Asked if “those types of events are particularly concerning, if (there) could be tens if not hundreds of thousands of people,” acting Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe was not interested in discussing Trump’s possible appearance at the game.
“I’m not going to comment on defense plans,” Rowe told reporters on Friday.
However, it seems he has faith in his team to keep Trump safe.
