Former President Donald Trump is expected to attend Sunday night’s Pittsburgh Steelers game.
The former president’s visit to the Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh, where the Steelers will face off against the New York Jets, was officially confirmed Saturday afternoon by Burt Lauten, the team’s spokesman.
“We encourage fans to arrive early to the parking lots and to the gates so that they can enjoy our pregame experience and our celebrations throughout the game that will honor the 50th anniversary of our Super Bowl IX team,” a statement from Lauten on X read.

Trump’s attendance to Sunday’s game was prefaced with a visit to a Pennsylvania McDonald’s, where he worked the fries stand and passed orders out to customers in the drive-thru.
Pennsylvania, the battleground state with the most Electoral College votes, has recently seen several campaign stops from both Trump and Democratic presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris. The state is set to be a crucial component of the 2024 election decision.
