Former President Donald Trump is set to campaign at the Bryce Jordan Center at 4 p.m. on Saturday, October 26. Doors will open at noon. Trump is scheduled to hold a rally in Novi, Michigan, at noon on Saturday before making the trip to State College.

The Republican nominee for president is visiting the all-important battleground state of Pennsylvania ahead of Election Day on November 5. Central Pennsylvania is consistently a stronghold for the GOP and the former commander-in-chief will need to have a high turnout in the surrounding area if he plans to win the Keystone State in 2024.

Trump personally stopping at Penn State is an increase in his campaign’s attention on the area compared to previous elections. The most important people the Trump campaigns sent in 2016 and 2020 were his sons. Donald Trump Jr. appeared in State College in 2020 and Eric Trump appeared in 2016.

Donald Trump’s campaign stop is not the first to visit Penn State over the past few weeks. Former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy spoke at the Sparks Building on Thursday, October 17, and Democratic congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez appeared at the State Theatre on Friday, October 18.

Five Democratic Governors visited State College on Sunday, October 20, as part of the “Blue Wall Bus Tour”, and the “Team Trump Bus Tour” stopped at Medlar Field at Lubrano Park on Tuesday, October 22.
