Trump for President, Inc., said in a statement. "President Trump looks forward to discussing the latest record-breaking jobs reports and his nomination of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. Floridians can also expect the President to remind them how critically important it is to vote in the mid-term elections this fall to expand the GOP majorities in the House and Senate."
Trump is expected to speak during the rally about the economy, his Supreme Court pick and his support for DeSantis, Gov. Rick Scott for Senate and Matt Gaetz for U.S. House, the statement said.
