Donald Trump sits cageside with daughter Ivanka at UFC 299 hours after Georgia campaign rally

Former President Donald Trump sat cageside at UFC 299 in Florida with his eldest daughter Ivanka hours after his campaign rally in Georgia on Saturday.

Trump entered the Kaseya Center in Miami, Fla. alongside UFC President Dana White to a boisterous ovation as Kid Rock’s “American Badass” blasted through the arena’s speakers.

The presumptive GOP nominee greeted several people in the front row and shook hands with Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy and former ESPN host Sage Steele before waving to the crowd.

Trump then met with daughter Ivanka and son-in-law Jared Kushner, who he sat with to take in the Sean O’Malley – Marlon Vera bout.

Hours earlier, Trump was in Rome, Ga. for a campaign rally where he ripped President Joe Biden for botching slain Georgia nursing student Laken Riley’s name during Thursday’s State of the Union address.

Trump also met with Riley’s family just before making his first remarks since winning 14 of the 15 Super Tuesday primaries.

“He got Laken’s name wrong. Lincoln. Mixing her up with the football coach,” Trump said, referring to USC football coach Lincoln Michael Riley.

“We share your grief,” Trump said of Riley’s friends and family, adding that she is “home with God in Heaven.”

The presidential gaffe came during Biden’s address to the joint session of Congress when he brought up the slain co-ed and referred to her alleged killer Jose Ibarra as an “illegal” instead of “undocumented.”

“Lincoln — Lincoln Riley, an innocent young woman who was killed by an illegal,” Biden said, both botching Laken Riley’s name and using the term considered politically incorrect by most Democrats.

During his speech, Trump also knocked the Biden campaign’s attempt to use the president’s age as an asset.

“I don’t think he’s a good person, I don’t think he’s a nice guy, I think he’s a corrupt individual,” Trump said of his presumptive rival. “It has nothing to do with age.”

“It’s not an age thing, it’s a competence thing, they’ve got to stop,” the 45th President added.

The Trump campaign told the Post that the former president will officially clinch the Republican nomination for president next week.

Trump needs to secure at least 1,215 delegates in state primaries and caucuses to make his nomination a mathematical certainty.

With all of his challengers out of the way, Trump, who has 1,075 delegates as of early Sunday morning, is expected to easily get there on Tuesday, when Georgia, Hawaii, Mississippi and Washington — a combined 161 delegates — hold their nominating contests.
