PHOENIX (AZFamily)<\/b> \u2014 President Donald Trump will make a visit to the Valley for the first time in 2026 on Friday.<\/p>\n
The President will speak at the \u201cBuild the Red Wall<\/a>\u201d event, hosted by Turning Point USA, at Dream City Church in North Phoenix. \u201cBuild the Red Wall\u201d is an effort to support Republican candidates ahead of the 2026 midterm election.<\/p>\n \u201cI think the President\u2019s coming to town to look for a rally among his adoring fans,\u201d said Pollster at Highground Inc.<\/a> Paul Bentz.<\/p>\n Arizona\u2019s Family spoke to voters in downtown Phoenix ahead of the President\u2019s visit. Affordability and the economy were the top issue that many people shared.<\/p>\n While some say they supported the Trump administration\u2019s efforts on immigration, with border crossings at a decades-long low, others said the war in Iran, gas prices, and overall affordability were big concerns.<\/p>\n \u201cThe ultimate issue that he has is that whether it\u2019s the war in Iran opening the Strait of Hormuz, gas prices as they are right now, the general affordability issues, he has not come up with a lot of solutions to this point,\u201d said Bentz.<\/p>\n Other speakers listed for the event include Republican candidate for governor Andy Biggs, Erika Kirk, and several Arizona congressional republicans.<\/p>\n The doors will open at 9 a.m., pre-programming is scheduled to begin at noon. President Trump is scheduled to take the stage at 2 p.m.<\/p>\n See a spelling or grammatical error in our story? Please click here to report it<\/a>.<\/p>\n
