An Instagram influencer named Claudia Rose has been identified as the woman who ran onto the field during a recent Pittsburgh Steelers game at Acrisure Stadium, waving a pro-Donald Trump sign. The game, which was against the New York Jets and had Donald Trump in attendance, was briefly interrupted when Rose entered the field holding a sign that read, “Trump secure border, Kamala open border.” Security apprehended her, and the game resumed.

Claudia Rose, described as a “MAGA influencer,” revealed her identity on social media during a conversation with talk show host Steven Steele. She explained that her reason for running onto the field was to inspire others to vote for Trump.
“I did it in the name of Jesus Christ and Donald Trump because we need to save this country,” she said to Steele.
“I don’t care if you like the guy, if you hate the guy – how was your life in 2016 versus how is it now? Stop voting with your feelings and vote with your brain,” she also said. She pointed out that Pennsylvania is a key swing state, and stated that her goal was to inspire people to register to vote.
She expressed her concerns about Kamala Harris’ policies, urging voters to oppose Harris, even if they were hesitant to support Trump directly.
It’s unclear whether Trump noticed Rose’s actions, but both received applause from the stadium crowd. An AI-generated image posted on Trump’s social media suggested he was cheering for the Steelers.
Former Steelers players Le’Veon Bell and Antonio Brown were also at the stadium before the game, encouraging fans to register to vote.
Today is the final day for Pennsylvania residents to register to vote, whether in person or online. Mail-in voter registration must also be received by today.
“Vote for yourself, vote for your family, your children. Vote for your bank account, your gas, your groceries, your rights, your freedom. Who cares if he says something offensive, vote for your freedom,” said Rose.
The Pittsburgh Police Department informed The Daily Mail that the woman who ran onto the field will receive a summons for defiant trespass by mail, though they did not officially confirm her identity as Claudia Rose.
Rose, with over 55,000 Instagram followers, regularly shares semi-nude photos featuring items like firearms or American flag bikinis, often accompanied by captions reflecting her conservative views. This isn’t her first pro-Trump stunt.
In the past, Rose posted a video showing her being turned away from a polling station for wearing MAGA gear, with a poll worker citing rules against clothing supporting specific candidates. In response, Rose had “MAGA” tattooed on her cheek.
She posted the tattoo on Instagram, though its authenticity remains unclear. Rose insists it’s real, but recent posts don’t clearly show the cheek in question.
The Steelers won the game 37-15.
