Washington — President Trump is scheduled to attend the Army-Navy game, one of the longest rivalries in college football, U.S. officials told WTX US News.
The stands at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey on Dec. 12 will be filled with active-duty troops and veterans.
Mr. Trump has made an appearance at the game several times as commander-in-chief, including last year. The game is known for its military flyovers and patriotism.
Mr. Trump has taken steps to give the Army-Navy game an exclusive television window so other college football games don’t compete with it.
White House spokespeople didn’t immediately comment.
The decision to attend the Army-Navy game comes as Republicans, including Vice President JD Vance, have blamed the Iran war as the reason the GOP suffered crushing losses in Tuesday’s midterm elections. Multiple sources on Wednesday told WTX US News that the president has been asking advisers if Hegseth should stay in his job.

Andy’s heartbroken daughter, Elli Gardiner, said: ‘The man who stayed by my side through everything, supported me through everything and held my hand at every step.
‘Less than six weeks short of 60 amazing years spent smiling, my dad was tragically taken from me, his grandson, his family, friends and loved ones.
‘Words cannot explain the pain I am feeling, the confusion, anger and shock running through me. He was loved by so many but I know the love he had for me and my son could never compare.
‘My dad was everything to me; his grandson idolised him and I cannot believe he is gone.’
His family said Andy loved running, football, music, the outdoors and socialising with friends. He had also been a long-serving member of Royal Mail.
In a tribute issued through Kent Police, they said: ‘Andy was an amazing father, grandfather, brother, partner, friend. Tragically taken too soon from all who knew and loved him.
‘Known for his infectious smile, his running, his football, his love of music and the outdoors and being the best-known postie in all of Folkestone.
‘Such a happy man with enough love to give to everyone around him. Rest in peace, Andy (AG) Gardiner. Forever loved and missed.’
Elli has launched a fundraiser to help give her father ‘the best send-off possible’.
She said Andy had made life happier for his daughter, grandson, partner, brothers, nieces, nephews and friends.
