President Donald Trump will return next week to the state that helped put him in the White House in 2016. The Republican will rally Monday in Lycoming County, just a day before voters cast their ballots in a critical special election there.
Trump’s campaign said the president is headed to Lycoming County to show his support for Republican state Rep. Fred Keller, who faces Democrat Marc Friedenberg in the 12th Congressional District, The Morning Call of Allentown reported.
The two are running to replace former Rep. Tom Marino, a Republican, who resigned earlier this year, initially claiming he was leaving to take a job in the private sector. Marino, who was barely a month into his fifth term, later acknowledged that health concerns prompted his resignation.
The rally also comes just two days after Vice President Joe Biden is set to kick off his campaign with supporters in Philadelphia.
Trump’s rally will be held May 20 at the Energy Aviation Hangar at Williamsport Regional Airport in Montoursville, Pa. Doors open at 4 p.m. for the 7 p.m. event, according to Trump’s re-election website.
