Former President Donald Trump this week announced more details about his rally in Wellington, Ohio which is scheduled for later this month.
The story: The rally will take place at the Lorain County Fairgrounds in Wellington, which is around 40 miles from Cleveland, on June 26 at 7 p.m. It will be the first such event where the former president addresses his supporters since the “Stop the Steal” event on Jan 6. that came shortly before the riot at the Capitol.
Trump’s Save America PAC said in a statement that the rally would mark “President Trump’s first of many appearances in support of candidates and causes that further the MAGA agenda and accomplishments of President Trump’s administration,” according to the New York Post.
The president previously announced the rally in Ohio but did not say when exactly it will happen. He also announced a rally in Florida.
“We’ll be doing one in Florida, we’re going to do one in Ohio, we’re going to do one in North Carolina,” he told One America News last month. “We’ll be announcing them very soon over the next week or two.”
Why? Trump will hold the rally in support of Max Miller, who served as Senior Advisor to the president under the Trump administration. Miller is challenging Rep. Anthony Gonzalez (R-OH), who voted to impeach the former president in the aftermath of the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.
“The President of the United States helped organize and incite a mob that attacked the United States Congress in an attempt to prevent us from completing our solemn duties as prescribed by the Constitution,” Gonzalez said, explaining his vote. “These are fundamental threats not just to people’s lives, but to the very foundation of our Republic.”
Trump endorsed Miller back in February.
“Max Miller is a wonderful person who did a great job at the White House and will be a fantastic Congressman,” Trump said at the time. “He is a Marine Veteran, a son of Ohio, and a true PATRIOT. Current Rep. Anthony Gonzalez should not be representing the people of the 16th district because he does not represent their interest or their heart. Max Miller has my Complete and Total Endorsement!”
