Trump scheduled for Allentown rally at PPL Center next week

ALLENTOWN, Pa. — Former President Donald Trump is set to hold a campaign rally at the PPL Center in Allentown next Tuesday, just one week before Election Day.

The rally, scheduled for 6 p.m., will feature Trump addressing supporters as part of his push to energize voters in the critical battleground state of Pennsylvania.

Doors will open at 2 p.m.; attendees can register for tickets on Trump’s campaign website.

The visit comes amid a flurry of activity in Pennsylvania from both campaigns.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, the Democratic nominee for vice president, will campaign in Allentown this Friday, while Vice President Kamala Harris is slated to appear in Philadelphia on Sunday.

Both campaigns have poured significant resources into Pennsylvania, which holds 19 electoral votes and is considered one of the most crucial swing states in the 2024 election.

This will be Trump’s second visit to the Lehigh Valley this year, having previously held a rally in North Whitehall Township in April.

The state’s role as a decisive factor in the 2016 and 2020 elections has drawn intense focus from both parties, with narrow margins determining the outcome of those contests.

The rally at the PPL Center is expected to draw thousands of supporters as Trump continues to make his case to Pennsylvania voters ahead of the campaign’s final stretch.

Election Day is Nov. 5.
