Hinchcliffe, who performed as an opening act at the rally, drew laughs as he likened Democratic supporters to “a Diddy Party,” referring to the many prominent figures who have voiced their support for Kamala Harris, from actors to athletes.
Hinchcliffe highlighted celebrities, including rapper Eminem, NFL player Travis Kelce, and actor Leonardo DiCaprio, all of whom have expressed support for Harris’s campaign.
He joked, “Every day, the Democrat Party looks more like a Diddy Party!” DiCaprio, one of those noted by Hinchcliffe, recently faced scrutiny over past ties to Sean “Diddy” Combs, who was recently charged in New York with trafficking and related allegations, all of which he has denied.

Hinchcliffe’s comedy set also took aim at Kelce, joking about the NFL star’s relationship with pop star Taylor Swift, comparing it in jest to the publicized relationship of O.J. Simpson.

Trump’s speech was part of a last-minute push across key states, with the former president and Kamala Harris intensifying their outreach as Election Day nears.
Meanwhile, Harris campaigned in Pennsylvania and debuted a new ‘pasor’ accent, a pivotal swing state likely to play a decisive role in the election outcome.
