Donald Trump

Trump is set to attend the Steelers-Jets game on Sunday, but will he sit with the owners of the New York or Pittsburgh team?

Donald Trump is expected to attend the Pittsburgh Steelers versus New York Jets game on Sunday, according to two sources, creating a potential dilemma for his campaign team.

Should he sit with Jets owner and friend, Woody Johnson, who also served as his ambassador? Or will he risk upsetting voters in Pennsylvania, a key swing state, by not joining the Rooney family—Steelers owners and Biden donors—in their box at Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh?

In such a tight election, every decision counts.

Trump is also scheduled to hold a rally in Latrobe on Saturday evening and will man the fry station at a McDonald’s in Philadelphia on Sunday, a stunt aimed at questioning Kamala Harris’ past summer job.

It has been confirmed that Trump’s plans to attend the Steelers-Jets game at Acrisure Stadium, highlighting how central Pennsylvania is to his campaign. With 19 electoral votes, it’s the most crucial of the battleground states. A recent DailyMail.com/J.L. Partners poll shows Trump and Biden neck and neck.

“The only question now is, where will he sit? In the Rooney box or with Woody Johnson, potentially angering all of Pittsburgh,” said a source close to the matter.

The challenge is that Art Rooney II, president of the Steelers, was a Biden donor, and his father, Dan Rooney, served as Obama’s ambassador to Ireland.

The stakes are high, with Pennsylvania narrowly flipping from Trump in 2016 to Biden in 2020 by just over 70,000 votes. Pittsburgh, a Democratic stronghold, is surrounded by red counties critical to Trump’s hopes of winning the state and the presidency.

John Fredericks, a radio host and Pennsylvania Republican National Convention delegate, weighed in: “Woody Johnson may be his ambassador, but if you’re attending a Steelers game, you better sit in the Pittsburgh box.”

Trump, an avid football fan, once owned the New Jersey Generals in the 1980s’ short-lived U.S. Football League. Speculation about his attendance grew after former Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown shared a post on social media linking Trump to the event.
