Former President Donald Trump is scheduled to hold a rally in President Joe Biden’s home state of Pennsylvania on Saturday, days before the president is set to begin his hush money trial in New York City.
The former president and 2024 White House presidential candidate is scheduled to speak at the Schnecksville Fire Department in Lehigh County and will also attend a fundraiser in nearby Bucks County. This will be President Trump’s third visit to the state this year in preparation for the 2024 election in November.
Trump flipped Pennsylvania in 2016, but then lost the state to Biden in 2020. Biden was born in the northeastern city of Scranton and often talks about his Pennsylvania roots.
