Former President Trump returned to the swing state of Pennsylvania on Saturday just two days before Republicans gather for the convention and prepare to nominate him for the third consecutive time.
Trump’s trip and rally to Butler County, in Western Pennsylvania, was set to begin at 5 p.m. at the Butler Farm Show grounds.
Pennsylvania, with 19 electoral votes, is one of the most vital battleground states that Trump’s campaign has focused on.
The former president held a rally last month at Temple University in Philadelphia.
