Women’s sports activist and OutKick host Riley Gaines has confirmed her participation as a speaker at former President Donald Trump’s upcoming rally in Glendale, Arizona. Scheduled for Friday at 2 p.m. Eastern, this event marks Trump’s first rally following the Democratic National Convention, which concludes the day prior. Gaines hinted at a shift in the political landscape, suggesting that Vice President Kamala Harris’s favorable period in the 2024 race may be coming to an end. The rally, hosted by Turning Point Action, is part of Trump’s strategy to engage with voters in battleground states. Gaines emphasized the significance of the event on social media, stating, “This will be President Trump’s FIRST rally following the DNC, so there will be much to discuss.” Alongside Gaines, other notable speakers include Republican Senate candidate Kari Lake and Arizona Representatives Andy Biggs, Paul Gosar, and Eli Crane. In a related development, independent presidential candidate Robert Kennedy Jr. is expected to make a campaign announcement in nearby Phoenix on the same day. Speculation surrounds the possibility that Kennedy may suspend his campaign and endorse Trump, adding another layer of intrigue to the rally and the evolving dynamics of the 2024 presidential race. As the political landscape shifts, all eyes will be on Arizona this Friday.
