The Trump campaign revealed that a special guest will appear with former President Donald Trump at his rally in Arizona on Friday.
In a press release, the campaign announced that Trump would be “joined by a special guest” at a rally in Glendale hosted by Turning Point Action (TPA) and the former president.
The news that Trump will be joined by a special guest comes as there has been speculation that independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is expected to drop out of the presidential race and endorse Trump.
“President Trump will be joined by a special guest as he delivers remarks about his America First policies and his vision to lower inflation and the cost of living, secure the border, and make our cities safe again,” the campaign wrote in the press release.
Special guest speakers at the rally include Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, Arizona Republican Senate candidate Kari Lake, and Arizona Republican Congressional candidate Abe Hamadeh, among others.

Kennedy’s campaign recently announced that the independent candidate would be speaking on Friday from Phoenix, Arizona, about the “path forward” in the 2024 presidential race.
Nicole Shanahan, Kennedy’s running mate recently announced in an interview that the Kennedy campaign was considering joining forces with Trump.
“There’s two options that we’re looking at, and one is staying in, forming that new party, but we run the risk of a Kamala Harris and [Tim] Walz presidency because we draw votes from Trump — or we draw, somehow, more votes from Trump,” Shanahan said during her interview on the Impact Theory. “Or we walk away right now and join forces with Donald Trump, and we walk away from that, and we explain to our base why we’re making this decision.”

The NPR Network will be reporting live from Chicago throughout the week bringing you the latest on the Democratic National Convention.
Former President Donald Trump told his followers on Truth Social earlier today that he would be posting throughout Kamala Harris’ DNC speech, where she has formally accepted the party’s nomination for president.
Here are some of the issues Trump has commented on tonight while Harris has been speaking, with some quick fact-checking.
On abortion: “Everybody, Democrats, Republicans, Liberals, and Conservatives, wanted Roe v. Wade TERMINATED, and brought back to the States.”
False: According to a Gallup poll from June 2023, one year after Roe v. Wade was overturned, 61% of respondents said overturning Roe was a “bad thing,” while 38% said it was a “good thing.”
Additionally, an NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll from earlier this year showed that most Americans believe criminalizing abortion is wrong.
On immigration: “She just called to give all Illegals CITIZENSHIP, SAY GOODBYE TO THE U.S.A.! SHE IS A RADICAL MARXIST!”
False: During her acceptance speech tonight, Harris said that she would support a bipartisan border bill on immigration. There is nothing in the text of the bill that would give all undocumented immigrants automatic American citizenship.
Additionally, while Harris mentioned that pathways to citizenship should exist, again, this does not equate to automatic citizenship for those in the country illegally.
On his legal troubles: “These Prosecutions were all started by her and Biden against their Political Opponent, ME!”
False: The White House has nothing to do with the cases brought against Former President Trump, whose four current criminal cases were brought against him by New York state court, the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, Georgia state court, and the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida respectively.
