The Trump/Vance campaign has not said if there will be any special guests at the PPG Paints Arena at this time.
Carnegie did receive a guest visit on behalf of the Trump campaign on Saturday though, with Eric Trump stopping by to rally support for his father.
“If we win Pennsylvania we’re going to win the country. If we win Pittsburgh we’re going to win the country,” Eric Trump said. “Early numbers have been great, people have to get out. Obviously, Pennsylvania is going to be razor thin, it always is, but I think there’s a lot of enthusiasm out there.”
The Harris campaign also visited and rallied on Saturday, with Former President Bill Clinton pushing for them in Butler County.
“I’m campaigning for my grandchildren’s future and the future of all of your children and grandchildren and maybe the ones you hope to have someday,” Former President Clinton said.
