Former President Donald Trump is no longer set to attend the matchup between the Penn State Nittany Lions and Ohio State Buckeyes. The highly anticipated game between these two top five ranked NCAA powerhouses was expected to see Trump at Happy Valley, the home of Penn State. However, reports indicate that his plans have changed.
Trump initially announced that he would attend the game after holding a rally at the Bryce Jordan Center in State College, Pennsylvania. While the rally successfully took place, his appearance at the upcoming Penn State game has been canceled. The event is significant, as both teams are currently ranked among the best in college football.
During his rally, Trump drew thousands of supporters and gave a speech prior to the kickoff of the game between Penn State and Wisconsin, which Penn State won with a score of 28-13. The news of his cancellation was first reported by the Centre Daily Times, which mentioned that it was unclear what prompted the change in plans. University spokesman Wyatt DuBois confirmed that the university has been informed of Trump's non-attendance at the game.

As the game day approaches, it's very likely that Trump will not be attending, especially since it is scheduled for Saturday, November 2, just days before Election Day on November 5. His focus on campaign-related issues may take precedence over attending sporting events.
This fall, Trump has made appearances at several sporting events, including a game between Alabama and Georgia on September 28 and an NFL game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and New York Jets on October 20. Penn State had been preparing for his visit, notifying students and fans about potential parking challenges. With his absence, many may breathe a sigh of relief regarding game day logistics.
The upcoming game between Penn State and Ohio State is expected to be a thrilling contest. Currently, Penn State is ranked No. 3 in the nation, boasting an impressive 7-0 record and a 4-0 record in the Big Ten. Ohio State is not far behind, ranked No. 5 with a 6-1 overall record and a 3-1 conference record. This matchup could very well be a pivotal moment in determining playoff standings, as both teams vie for a spot in the College Football Playoffs.
While both teams are considered strong candidates for the playoffs, a couple of consecutive losses could jeopardize their chances. With the stakes high, fans can expect an exhilarating showdown as two of college football's elite programs face off in what could be a season-defining game.
