PHOENIX – Former President Donald Trump will visit Tucson on Thursday to speak on the economy and housing costs, the Trump campaign announced.

Held at the Linda Ronstadt Music Hall, the doors will open at 11 a.m. and Trump will speak at 2 p.m.

The visit will comes two days after the presidential debate between Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris.

Arizona has been a central focus for the Trump campaign. His running mate, JD Vance, visited the Valley last week to remark on the border and immigration.

The former president visited the border in late August, a day before holding a rally in Glendale.

Democrats have made visiting Arizona a priority as well. Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz is set to talk on Tuesday, the same day as the debate, in Phoenix. Shortly after Harris announced Walz as her running mate, the Harris-Walz campaign held a rally in Glendale as part of a tour of important swing states.

We want to hear from you.
