Former President Donald Trump is set to conclude his presidential campaign today with a final rally in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
Trump has announced that he will not pursue the presidency in 2028 if he does not succeed in this election. Additionally, should he win this time, the 22nd Amendment will prevent him from running again, as it limits presidents to two terms.
Today’s rally signifies the end of Trump’s campaign as a presidential candidate. Michigan, a pivotal swing state that played a vital role in his 2016 election victory, is where he is choosing to make this final appearance.
The decision to hold the rally in Grand Rapids is significant, as Trump has concluded both his 2016 and 2020 campaigns in the same city, making it a key stop on the campaign trail.
Current polling indicates that Michigan is highly competitive, with the race nearly too close to call. To secure victory, Trump needs to reclaim at least one swing state in the Midwest, and Michigan could be the decisive factor.
Event Details
Location: Trump’s last rally will take place at the Van Andel Arena in Grand Rapids, Michigan, a venue he has used for all his presidential campaign closures. The arena has a seating capacity of approximately 12,000 people and was also where he announced Ohio Senator JD Vance as his running mate.
Time: Doors open at 6:30 p.m. ET, with Trump scheduled to speak at 10:30 p.m., according to his campaign website.
Broadcast: The rally will be livestreamed on Trump’s official YouTube channel, which has been used for his previous rallies.
Significance of the Event
This rally marks Trump’s last opportunity to address voters as a presidential candidate. Recent polls show him trailing a few points behind Harris, making it essential for him to conclude his campaign on a strong note to win back any wavering supporters.
Michigan was a crucial part of Trump’s 2016 electoral coalition, along with other Midwestern swing states. After President Joe Biden’s victory in the state in 2020, Michigan remains vital to Trump’s strategy for recapturing the presidency.
