Former President Donald Trump is reportedly planning to attend another college football game.

Ross Dellenger of Yahoo Sports shared Thursday that Trump is making plans to be in State College on Nov. 2 for the highly anticipated Big Ten showdown between Penn State and Ohio State. The teams are ranked Nos. 3 and 4 in the AP Top 25 entering Week 9.

It would be the second time this season that Trump has attended a marquee matchup. In September, Trump was in Tuscaloosa for the top-5 showdown between Alabama and Georgia. This time, Trump would be in a swing state just days before the 2024 presidential election on Nov. 5. Pennsylvania’s electoral votes are expected to play a deciding role in the outcome.

The Week 10 game is shaping up to be in the national spotlight. No. 3 Penn State is one of 3 undefeated B1G teams, along with No. 1 Oregon and No. 13 Indiana. No. 4 Ohio State has a conference loss to Oregon, but is still in the College Football Playoff picture. In Week 9, Ohio State hosts Nebraska while Penn State is on the road at Wisconsin.
