President-elect Donald Trump was set to take an Arizona victory lap Sunday morning, returning to a battleground state he won decisively last month on his way back to the White House.
Trump was slated to speak at AmericaFest, a conference put on by the Phoenix-based conservative groups Turning Point Action and Turning Point USA.
“We are incredibly honored that President Trump will deliver his first rally-style speech since the election at AmFest 2024 in Phoenix,” Turning Point President Charlie Kirk said in a written statement.
Trump’s remarks were set to begin at 10:30 a.m. at the Phoenix Convention Center and will be livestreamed on azcentral.com. The appearance comes less than a month before Trump is sworn in for a second term on Jan. 20.
Trump will appear on the last day of the four-day conservative gathering, which featured GOP stars such as his son, Donald Trump Jr., former Fox News host Tucker Carlson, former Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., and incoming “border czar” Tom Homan, among others.
“When I spoke to the president, he said he’d only do it if we called it a ‘Tribute to Arizona,’ so that’s exactly what we’re doing. President Trump knows the people of Arizona have always been with him, loyal to him, and they just delivered the largest win for him of all of the swing states,” Kirk said.
