Former President Trump to hold rally in Mesa on Sunday in support of GOP candidates

Former President Donald Trump is returning to Arizona and holding a rally in the East Valley as the election race heats up. The 45th president is scheduled to deliver remarks at the Legacy Sports Park off Ellsworth and Williams Field Road on Sunday.

Trump will be joined by some big names in the Arizona Republican Party, including state attorney candidate Abraham Hamadeh, nominee for governor Kari Lake and U.S. Senate candidate Blake Masters. It will mark the second visit this year to Arizona for the former president. In July, thousands packed an arena in Prescott Valley as several Trump-endorsed and Trump-supported candidates spoke at the Findlay Toyota Center. In that event, he harshly criticized the Biden Administration over inflation and the border. He then took aim at Gov. Doug Ducey. calling him in part, “all talk and no action.”

Below is a full list of speakers:

  • Rep. Andy Biggs
  • Rep. Debbie Lesko
  • Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene
  • Ric Grenell, former U.S. ambassador to Germany
  • Kari Lake
  • Blake Masters
  • Rep. Mark Finchem
  • Abraham Hamadeh

Ric Grenell?  Really?  Maybe the goal is to get the crowd to ask "Who?" in unison.


Well, at least Gosar not being there means that he won't be associated with the event when Cheeto stiffs Mesa.


Cheeto has a track record of doing just that; maybe the next time the FBI raids Mar A Lago, they won't be just be looking for top secret documents, but bill collectors, too.

Trump campaign still owes Arizona cities thousands in past event fees

Former President Donald Trump will be back on the campaign trail in Arizona on Oct. 9, supporting Republican candidates ahead of early voting. However, when he takes the stage in Mesa, he will be doing so in a city where his campaign still owes tens of thousands of dollars for a past event.

“Hello, Arizona! We love being in Arizona!” President Donald Trump said before a crowd at Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport in October 2018.

He delivered that speech to an estimated 12,000 people. The City of Mesa billed the Trump campaign to turn the airport hangar into an event venue, charging for barricades, a temporary parking lot, and security. The total cost was nearly $65,000, a total that the city asked the campaign to reimburse them.
