Former President Donald J. Trump and his running mate JD Vance will be hosting a campaign event at Van Andel Arena in Grand Rapids, Michigan on Saturday. This will be their first public appearance together since the assassination attempt on Trump that killed a campaign rally attendee.
Thousands are expected to attend the event, which will focus on topics such as the economy, border policies, and taxes. Michigan is considered a battleground state in the upcoming election, making this event significant in the race for the White House.
Road closures and logistical preparations are expected to begin much earlier than the program start time of 5 p.m. Doors to the venue will open at 1 p.m. for those with general admission tickets. The event will also be livestreamed by 13 ON YOUR SIDE for those unable to attend in person.
In anticipation of the event, the city of Grand Rapids has announced short-term road closures in the vicinity of Van Andel Arena. Parking in the area will be limited, with public transportation services like The Rapid, DASH, and Downtown Area Shuttle running with detours.
Law enforcement agencies will be present to ensure the safety and security of all attendees. Chief Eric Winstrom of the Grand Rapids Police Department has urged cooperation and patience from attendees during the event. This high-profile campaign event is expected to draw significant attention as Trump and Vance make their case to voters in this crucial election year.
