Donald Trump will attend the Pittsburgh Steelers versus New York Jets game on Sunday, according to two sources, but it leaves campaign aides with a major headache.
Should he sit with his friend and ambassador, Woody Johnson, owner of the Jets?
Or does he risk alienating tens of thousands of voters in the critical swing state of Pennsylvania if he does not join the Rooney family, owners of the Steelers, in their box at Acrisure Stadium, in Pittsburgh?
With such a close election, everything matters.
Trump is due to hold a rally in nearby Latrobe on Saturday evening and is scheduled to man the fry station at a McDonald's in Philadelphia the following day, a stunt designed to raise more questions about Kamala Harris' vacation job in the 1980s.
And it illustrates how the Trump campaign is all in on Pennsylvania.
It is the most important of the seven battleground states, with 19 electoral college votes, and a DailyMail.com/J.L. Partners poll this week showed the two candidates in a dead heat.

Sit with the Yinzers. You’re their guest.
Last i knew the Rooney family were huge libs.....backed obama big time and instituted the “rooney rule” where teams were forced to interview at least three minority candidates before hiring a white guy...
I’d be surprised if they let President Trump sit with them.
There are two halves to the game. He could sit on both sides to make it even, if they both want his company, and he wants theirs.
A seasoned politician in this position will switch sides at halftime.
He’ll sit with New York. He’s a New Yorker through and through.
That is...Kamala lives in a box...I can't see where she has any outside interests. She's not a homemaker, not a traveler, not a shopper, not an art lover, not a music lover...
I agree that would be the traditional approach and makes sense. I don’t see the Rooney snubbing him
If this were Steelers-Raiders or Steelers-Cowboys or Steelers-AFC North Division Rival, there’d be a problem. The Jets are harmless.
Both cities are liberal sewers, would not associate with either one.
After the third quarter Jets fans will be hitting the exits. makes it easier for Trumps security.
That is what he will do!
The game is in Pittsburgh, so it is the Jets - Steelers game. stupid Brits don’t know we always list the home team second.
I would think Donald would be a NJ Giants fan over the NJ Jets.
As a follow up, it occurred to me that if it is Pittsburgh, there won’t be many Jets fans there anyways to watch Aaron Rodgers lay another egg.
“Both cities are liberal sewers”
What city is not?
“What city is not?”
I dunno, but most any eastern or west coast city is a lock on it.
Phoenix, no idea, but the number of gibsmedats i see when flying out of there............
