President Trump announced in a tweet Saturday that he will hold a “BIG” rally in Pennsylvania next Saturday evening.
He didn’t share any further details, but the event does fall on the 100th day of Trump’s presidency.
The rally will take place at 7:30 p.m. at the Pennsylvania Farm Show Complex & Expo Center in Harrisburg, according to a press release from Trump’s campaign committee. A senior White House official told CNN that the campaign committee is paying for the event.
The 100-day point in Trump’s presidency has been somewhat marred by low poll numbers and critics who note that Trump has yet to achieve any significant pieces of legislation during that time, even through he promised before the inauguration swift action on several matters. Trump is reportedly eyeing a last-minute push for tax reform and an Obamacare repeal deal next week. He has already signed off executive orders that roll back several Obama-era regulations on businesses and the climate, but his repeated attempts at a travel ban have been caught up in the courts.
The event will take place on the night of the White House Correspondents Dinner, which Trump declined to attend earlier this year.
The rally would mark the first Trump as held in over a month. He last rallied in Nashville, Tenn., in mid-March and Melbourne, Fla., in February.
Pennsylvania played a major role in Trump’s election victory over Hillary Clinton. The swing state’s 20 electoral votes went to Trump after he beat Clinton by less than one percent of the vote.
Moments before making the announcement, the president tweeted that he was preparing to visit Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Md.
