Republican presidential nominee former President Donald Trump is speaking at a campaign rally in Glendale, Arizona Friday evening.
The event is being held in the Desert Diamond Arena, which has a capacity of 20,000 people. Based on video footage ahead of Trump’s arrival, the arena appears to be full.
Just hours earlier on Friday, Trump received what may be a game-changing endorsement, as indepdent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced he is suspending his campaign and joining forces with Trump.
“Heading to Arizona where I will soon be speaking at Turning Point — BIG CROWD, AND EVEN BIGGER SURPRISE!” Trump announced in a social media post.
The Trump campaign has confirmed that Kennedy will be joining Trump on stage at the rally in Glendale.
Eight hours ahead of the rally, the lines were massive to get into the venue.
BREAKING: Thousands of Arizonans have shutdown the streets of Glendale to see President Trump. The rally doesn’t start until 4 PM local time, which is 8 hours away
