Former president Donald Trump and Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz will attend college football games in Alabama and Michigan, respectively, on Saturday which a large number of voters are expected to tune in.
Trump is headed to Tuscaloosa, Alabama where he will watch the Alabama Crimson Tide take on the Georgia Bulldogs. Though Alabama is a predominately red state, Georgia fans who hail from the swing state are likely the targeted demographic.
Meanwhile, Walz will attend the Michigan Wolverines v. Minnesota Golden Gophers game in Ann Arbor, Michigan in the hopes of wooing swing state voters in Michigan.
Michigan and Wisconsin are among the closest battleground state races for Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris.
The two candidates are nearly tied in Michigan with Harris holding 48 percent of the vote and Trump holding 47 percent, according to new polling from the New York Times and Siena College. In Wisconsin, Harris is at 49 percent while Trump is at 47 percent.

Donald Trump claimed Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, will be the country’s “cost cutter” if he’s elected.
Trump made the comments at a Michigan rally on Friday afternoon.
“I’m gonna get Elon, and he’s great at this, he’s gonna be our cost cutter...I don’t think I can get him full-time because he’s a little bit busy sending rockets up and all the things he does but, but he’s so much into that, he said the waste of this country is crazy, and we’re going to get Elon Musk to be our cost cutter,” Trump said.
“He’s going to do it for zero, but he wants to see this country be great, and he’ll do it,” he added.
