Let’s Go, Brandon! Trump to Attend World Series in Atlanta

CLAY: I want to remind you, in the final hour of the program a good way to finish off Friday, Donald Trump is going to join us at 2:30 Eastern tomorrow. And one of the things we’re going to be asking him about is something that I broke yesterday based on talking with people that I know, which is that Donald Trump is headed to Atlanta on Saturday night to be present for the Astros-Braves game in the World Series.

You guys know if you listen to the show I’ve been down on the road, flew back from Houston early this morning, because I was down there for Game 1 and Game 2 of the World Series. Phenomenal time. Thanks to everybody in Houston that we hung out with, that showed us such an incredible experience there in what is truly a great city and a fantastic ballpark. Series tied up 1-1. But Donald Trump is going to be in Atlanta.

Atlanta has not hosted a World Series game since 1999, okay? So this is the first World Series game that Atlanta will have hosted this century, and what’s fascinating about this is, Trump is going to be inside of that stadium. And the controversy from a political perspective, if you’ll remember, is that Major League Baseball commissioner Rob Manfred pulled the All-Star Game out of Atlanta over the Georgia voting bill.

Which was a direct response to the incredible mess in Georgia in the 2020 presidential election and then the subsequent Senate races as well. So Georgia a major battleground not only for 2020, but for 2022 when Herschel Walker will be running for the Senate against Reverend Raphael Warnock. Herschel Walker is obviously a good friend of Donald Trump, legendary Georgia running back. So Georgia is going to be a battleground.

What will it sound like on Saturday for a massive television audience when — I’m telling you — all those Braves fans, as soon as they show Donald Trump on the Jumbotron, are going to go absolutely bananas because that is a Trump fan-filled stadium, trust me. And then on top of that when all of the “Let’s go, Brandon” chants break out, how is the media going to respond to the widely unpopular presidency of Joe Biden?

The spectacular cheering that we’re likely to see for Donald Trump, and what is certain to be a 2022 and 2024 battleground state? I think this is a master political stroke by Donald Trump, who also, by the way, is a lot like me. He loves politics, he also loves sports, and he understands how often those two battlegrounds can be intertwined.

And so he’s gonna be on with us tomorrow in the final hour of the program, and we’re gonna ask him about the decision to go to Atlanta for Astros-Braves, what he expects to happen in the game, but what kind of reception he also anticipates receiving and more. Trust me, that’s gonna be really fascinating.
