The son of the U.S. President wants to see sports betting legalized in two Southern states.
Donald Trump Jr. responded to a post on social media site X, saying that it is “crazy” Georgia and Alabama residents couldn’t wager on a top 20 primetime showdown between the states’ two premier football programs.
Trump Jr. added that he “totally” agrees with “changing” laws to allow for sports betting in those states.
The Crimson Tide beat the Bulldogs 24-21, but no one in either state was able to bet on Alabama’s first trip to Georgia’s Sanford Stadium in a decade, despite neighboring states like Tennessee and North Carolina offering legal sports betting.
Alabama and Georgia lawmakers both attempted to legalize sports betting in 2025, but proposed legislation didn’t get far enough to have any hope of passing in either state.
