Former President Donald Trump capped his weekend assault on the Keystone State by attending the Steelers-Jets game in Pittsburgh.

The GOP candidate was shown in a suite at Acrisure Stadium at the start of NBC's Sunday Night Football broadcast.

Earlier in the weekend, the Steelers confirmed that Trump would attend the game as a guest of an unidentified suite owner.

While Trump was in one of the stadium's luxury suites, the identity of the suite owner remains a mystery. The Steelers organization confirmed that Trump was not a guest of the team itself.

Late Sunday night – as the Steelers improved their season record to 5-2 – there was still no confirmation about the suite owner. It was not clear how long Trump remained in the game; The 78-year-old has an afternoon rally in North Carolina on Monday

Notable attendees included former Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown, who was a vocal supporter of Trump and gave a speech at his pregame Latrobe rally.

Trump's appearance came amid a weekend of strengthening his base in Pennsylvania – a key battleground state that could decide the Nov. 5 election.

The candidate was busy working on a fryer at a McDonald's in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, earlier in the day.
