A photo of Trump enjoying the game alongside an eclectic mix of celebrities and political figures has quickly gone viral. Seated with Trump were country music icons Kid Rock and Hank Williams Jr., along with Herschel Walker, a former football legend now running for the U.S. Senate.
Also joining them was Alabama U.S. Senator Tommy Tuberville, a former college football coach, and the state’s other U.S. Senator, Katie Britt. Adding to the diverse group was former UFC champion Colby Covington, known for his outspoken personality and strong political views.
