Former President Donald Trump will host another one of his Save America rallies, this time in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. The former president will speak in support of Republican candidates Mehmet Oz and state Sen. Doug Mastriano ahead of their crucial midterm elections in November.

President Trump’s rally will be held at Mohegan Sun Arena. The rally comes just over two months before Election Day, in a race in which both Oz, the Republican Senate nominee, and Mastriano, the Republican gubernatorial nominee, trail their Democratic opponents in polling and fund-raising.
Mr. Trump announced the rally in an email from his Save America PAC while Mastriano was in Pittsburgh for an event with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. “Please join us for a Save America Rally in Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, PA! Entertainment and Concessions will be available throughout the day,” read the official announcement.
The speeches at the Trump rally will start at 4 p.m., with the former president scheduled to speak at 7 p.m.
On Friday, Donald Trump‘s Save America PAC announced the rally as one for “the entire Pennsylvania Trump Ticket.” Jim Bognet, a Republican congressional candidate running in a rematch against U.S. Rep. Matt Cartwright, is also expected to attend.
Mehmet Oz, who trails Democrat Lt. Gov. John Fetterman in recent polls by five to ten points, also trails him in fund-raising. Last quarter, the Democratic candidate raised about $11 million. Oz raised only $3.8 million, including $2 million for his campaign.
