A female fan caused a brief interruption during the Pittsburgh Steelers-New York Jets game by running onto the field with a sign supporting Donald Trump. The woman’s sign read, “Trump, secure border. Kamala open border,” and she received cheers from the Pittsburgh crowd. Despite the excitement caused by her actions, the incident was not shown on NBC’s broadcast of the game. Security quickly apprehended her at the 40-yard line and escorted her out of the stadium.
Former President Donald Trump was watching the game from the VIP box and did not acknowledge the fan’s field invasion. However, he waved to fans from the suite, receiving cheers as he did so. Social media footage posted by a Trump campaign staffer showed Trump pumping his fist in response to the crowd chanting “U-S-A.” The game took place in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, which is an important swing state for Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris in their electoral competition.
The Steelers’ victory over the Jets with a score of 37-15 was a welcome break for Trump, who was visiting Pittsburgh as part of his campaign efforts. Following the game, Trump expressed gratitude to Steelers fans for their warm reception, emphasizing the upcoming importance of November 5th. The event also included a rally where former Steelers stars Antonio Brown and Le’Veon Bell officially endorsed the GOP nominee. It was clarified by a Steelers spokesperson that Trump was a guest of a suite holder rather than the team itself.
The Steelers’ win improved their season record to 5-2, while the Jets experienced a disappointing loss, falling to 2-5. Earlier on the same day, Trump was seen working as a fry cook at a McDonald’s in Pennsylvania. The incident involving the female fan and her support for Trump added an element of excitement to the game and provided a memorable moment for fans in attendance. The footage of Trump waving and interacting with the crowd served as a reminder of the former president’s popularity and influence among certain segments of the population.
