Former President Donald Trump was at the home game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the New York Jets on Sunday Night Football, where the Steelers won 37–15. Early in the day, Trump worked at a McDonald’s in Feasterville-Trevose, Pennsylvania, at the french fry station and the drive-thru window. After that, he spoke at a town hall meeting in Lancaster about fracking, inflation, and job growth.
When Trump arrived at the game at night, the crowd went crazy. As he took his seat, fans chanted “USA! USA!” adding to the tense mood of prime-time football.
Trump wasn’t the only guest who got people’s attention, though. Late in the third quarter, a woman Steelers fan wearing a yellow halter top that showed a lot of skin and knee-high boots ran onto the field. There was a sign in front of her that said “Trump Secure Border, Kamala Open Border.”
Immigration and border security have become very important topics in this election, and voters from all parties feel strongly about them. As worries about illegal immigration, drug and people trafficking, and the strain on public resources grow, Trump’s support among angry and fed-up voters rises. Over the past ten years, these problems have been at the heart of his America First platform. His unwavering dedication to protecting the border has turned it into a rallying cry for his supporters.
At the same time, Vice President Harris, who was named “Border Czar” by President Biden, has been criticized as the number of people crossing the border reaches an all-time high. Immigration has become one of the most important issues in this race because she refused to take responsibility and was careless.

The woman who crashed into the field as an activist act didn’t make it onto the national prime-time NBC show, but players and fans saw her briefly running across the grass, which got their attention. The announcers recognized the sudden interruption and talked about the strange scene. Cameras caught the players’ reactions, which ranged from amused to confused. Then the show quickly cut to an aerial shot of Acrisure Stadium. People watching TV couldn’t read her sign, which made them wonder what she was trying to say.
