Trump to campaign in Tucson Thursday; Emhoff visiting same day

Former President Donald Trump will campaign in Tucson on Thursday, where he plans to talk about what he calls “the struggling economy and the rising cost of housing.”

Trump’s rally at the Tucson Music Hall will be his first visit to Tucson since October 2020, although the Republican presidential nominee visited the U.S.-Mexican border last month in Cochise County as Arizona receives attention as a battleground state in the November presidential election.

Second Gentleman Douglas Emhoff, husband of Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee for president, will also visit Tucson Thursday. Emhoff’s visit will be his first this election cycle and is part of the Harris-Walz campaign’s “New Way Forward battleground tour,” a news release said. The time and venue have not yet been announced.

For Trump’s rally, doors will open at 11 a.m. at the Tucson Musical Hall, 260 S. Church Ave. The former president is expected to begin his remarks at 2 p.m.

The presidential debate between Harris and Trump will air Tuesday night from Philadelphia.
