Trump hails support from Rogan, baseball legend’s son in final pitch: ‘Golden Age’

Former President Trump touted an American “golden age” if re-elected to the Oval Office as he delivered his final campaign pitch to voters on the battlefield in Pennsylvania, where he was joined by high-profile supporters such as baseball legend Roberto Clemente’s son and podcast host Megyn Kelly.

“Your paychecks will be higher. Your streets will be safer and cleaner. Your communities will be richer and your future will be brighter than ever before” Trump said this Monday night in Pittsburgh.

“This will be the golden age of America,” the Republican presidential candidate said to applause and cheers from the crowds.

Trump’s final day on the campaign trail included rallies and stops in North Carolina and Pennsylvania before heading to Grand Rapids, Michigan, later Monday for his final rally before Election Day. While in Pittsburgh, he was joined by Roberto Clemente Jr., a former baseball player and son of the Pittsburgh Pirates legend.

“I am very proud to be here. For the first time I had to take a step forward. And it is very important for me to support this man because I believe that tomorrow is a change of time. … The name Clemente, what it means is goodwill and togetherness, I believe your team will bring it all home,” Clemente Jr. shared.

“I believe in everything that you stand for right now, to be able to make the change for our families. My three children who are very young and we live here in Pennsylvania. And I told this man that I commit me to help RFK JR .. with .. our children and make America healthy again,” the son of the Puerto Rican baseball legend continued.

Trump took the stage at Pittsburgh’s PPG Paints Arena just after 7:30 p.m. and revealed more than an hour into the rally that he had just heard that podcast host Joe Rogan had officially endorsed him for president.

“It just came over the wires that Joe Rogan just endorsed me,” Trump said after Megyn Kelly joined him on stage rallying support for the Trump-Vance ticket.

“It’s so nice. And he doesn’t. He doesn’t,” Trump continued, noting that he did a three-hour podcast interview with Rogan last month. “And he tends to be a little bit more liberal than some of the people in this room.”

Pennsylvania is again a key battleground this cycle, as Keystone State voters are championed as likely-to-want determine the outcome of the federal election. Trump narrowly won the state in 2016 when he successfully campaigned against former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, but he lost the state in 2020 against now-President Biden.

The former president took a shot at his Democratic opponent, Vice President Harris, on Monday night, noting his promise to “fix” what the Biden-Harris administration “broke.”

“This is all you really need to know. It’s simple, not a particularly beautiful statement, but very simple: Kamala broke it, I’m going to fix it,” Trump said.

Harris is also scheduled to hold an event in Pittsburgh on Monday night, where she will be joined by a handful of celebrities, including singer Katy Perry, who is expected to perform. Trump blasted Harris for touting celebrities at her campaign events, pointing to pop singer Beyoncé, who joined Harris in Texas last month when some attendees reportedly thought Beyoncé would perform at the rally. Beyoncé ultimately only spoke to the audience about her Harris endorsement and did not sing.

“She tried to get stars to come in and they actually wouldn’t do it,” Trump said. “She would go get Beyoncé. Beyoncé would come in, everybody’s expecting a few songs, and there were no songs. There was no happiness. It’s like, ‘Give me my check.’ I want to get out of here. ‘ … She should have learned this from Crooked Hillary: Always put the star after you. That way people stay.

In his final pitch to the state’s voters, Trump touched on many of his common campaign points, including ending the illegal immigration crisis and the drug crisis.

“They are allowing people in from insane asylums and mental institutions from all over the world, from Venezuela to Congo in Africa. They are stealing our jobs and they are stealing countless American lives,” he said. “They are killing a lot of people, much more than you read about. The day I take office, the migrant invasion will end and the recovery of our country will begin.”

Trump again called for the death penalty for any migrant found guilty of murdering a US citizen and a law enforcement agent, drawing applause from the crowds. He also explained that he will hit Mexico and China with tariffs if the deadly synthetic opioid fentanyl is found in the United States after coming from those nations.

“We’re going to put a tariff on Mexico if they don’t immediately stop sending those horrible things into this country. And we’re going to do the same with China if China doesn’t stop,” he said.

Polls show Trump and Harris are neck and neck in Pennsylvania, as both candidates have repeatedly visited the state in recent weeks, including repeated rallies in cities such as Reading and Allentown. Trump said during the rally that he expects “a big turnout in Pennsylvania.”
