Former President Donald Trump’s Save America PAC on Wednesday released the name of several guests who will speak at his Arizona rally.
Trump is returning to the state in order to boost his endorsed candidates ahead of Arizona’s August Republican primary election.
The former commander-in-chief has backed candidates for governor, U.S. Senate, attorney general, secretary of state, and several state legislature seats.
According to a release, the event “is a continuation of President Trump’s unprecedented effort to advance the MAGA agenda by energizing voters and highlighting America First candidates and causes.”
Many of the featured speakers are candidates endorsed by Trump:
- Kari Lake, Trump Endorsed Candidate for Governor of Arizona
- Blake Masters, Trump Endorsed Candidate for U.S. Senate in Arizona
- Abe Hamadeh, Trump Endorsed Candidate for Attorney General of Arizona
- State Rep. Mark Finchem, Trump Endorsed Candidate for Secretary of State of Arizona and State Representative from Arizona’s 11th District
- Sheriff Mark Lamb, Pinal County Sheriff
- Kelli Ward, Chairwoman of the Republican Party of Arizona
- Mike Lindell, Inventor and CEO of My Pillow
As previously reported, the event will begin around 11:00 a.m., and special guests will speak a few hours later. At 4:00 p.m., Trump will take the stage. The rally is being held at the Findlay Toyota Center in Prescott Valley.
The high number of Trump-endorsed candidates will be a large test of the former President’s sway over the Republican Party. Earlier this year, Georgia’s elections waged a similar contest in which Trump secured mixed results. While several Trump-backed candidates won, Governor Brian Kemp and Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger easily squashed their Trump challengers.
Recent polling has placed U.S. Senate candidate Blake Masters and gubernatorial contender Kari Lake in the lead.
