President Donald Trump is scheduled to hold a rally in Highland Heights on Saturday, Oct. 17, as he travels to Republican-led states to promote GOP candidates ahead of the midterm elections.
Doors are set to open at 10:30 a.m., with the rally beginning at 12:30 p.m. Trump is expected to speak at 2 p.m. The event is free, but attendees must register. The event listing did not specify the venue.
Trump’s last visit to Kentucky was in March, when he campaigned in Hebron for Republican Ed Gallrein in Gallrein’s primary challenge to U.S. Rep. Thomas Massie. Gallrein defeated Massie in the May primary.
The rally comes amid a closely watched race in Kentucky’s 6th Congressional District, where Republican Ralph Alvarado is running against Democrat Zach Dembo. Several political forecasters have recently narrowed the expected gap between the candidates, according to the information available about the race.
