As the 2024 election heats up, Ohio Senator JD Vance, the selected running mate of former President Donald Trump, will be hitting the campaign trail in Arizona this week. According to FOX 10 Phoenix, Vance is scheduled to make an appearance at the prestigious Arizona Biltmore in Phoenix tomorrow, with doors set to open at noon and the event slated to kick off at 3 p.m.
Before participating in this official campaign event, Vance is also expected to quickly attend a gathering organized by Turning Point Action, a conservative group, at Generation Church in Mesa. Event details posted on Trump’s campaign website state doors will open at 3 p.m. today, with Vance giving remarks by 5 p.m. This visit marks Vance's second stint to the Valley in a short span, a move to likely galvanize supporters in the crucial swing state.
As for the Biltmore event, it acts as a precursor to another Trump campaign event slated for later in the evening in Mesa. This subsequent event, starting at 6 p.m., will feature a cadre of Republican leaders such as Arizona Congressman Eli Crane, Texas Governor Greg Abbott, and former California Lieutenant Governor Abel Maldonado, as reported by FOX 10 Phoenix.
Registration for tickets to the Arizona Biltmore event is currently open, suggesting a significant turnout is expected as Vance aims to stoke the fervor of Trump's base in the Grand Canyon State. The Biltmore event is not Vance’s only stop in the area; he has already secured his presence in the state's political scene by making targeted visits, particularly when he spoke in Glendale about the current administration and border politics in late July, as covered by AZFamily.
