Six years to the day after a stadium rally in Mobile gave an early glimpse of Donald Trump’s ability to generate the excitement that would propel him to the White House, the former president is back in Alabama today to fire up his supporters again.
Trump will hold a “Save America” outdoor rally at York Family Farms in Cullman, which is in the heart of a Congressional district where four out of five voters supported him in 2016 and 2020.
It’s his first speaking event in Alabama since campaigning for Luther Strange during the special election for the Senate in 2017.
Admission starts at 2 p.m. today live music, food and beverage concessions, and guest speakers.
The rally starts at 5 p.m. Alabama Republican Party Chair John Wahl said nine speakers are lined up to precede Trump. The former president takes the stage at 7 p.m.
Other speakers include Wahl; columnist and commentator Todd Starnes; state Sen. Garlan Gudger of Cullman; Congressman Robert Aderholt of Haleyville; state Rep. Andrew Sorrell of Muscle Shoals; Attorney General Steve Marshall; Lt. Gov. Will Ainsworth; Sen. Tommy Tuberville; and Congressman Mo Brooks, who carries Trump’s endorsement in the U.S. Senate race.
Wahl said he started working to bring Trump back to Alabama as soon as he was elected state party chair in February. He said the 45th president’s appearance will help build momentum for Alabama Republicans for next year’s elections.
“Alabama is Trump Country, and the president has such a special bond with its people,” Wahl said in a press release. “We are delighted he is coming to the heart of the Fourth Congressional District, where he received his highest vote percentages in the 2016 and 2020 general elections.”
The Alabama Democratic Party has denounced Trump’s return to Alabama as a bad idea. Democratic Party Executive Director Wade Perry said it had the potential to be a “super-spreader” of COVID-19 at a time when the coronavirus has filled up Alabama hospitals.
In fundraising emails to members and supporters, the Alabama Democratic Party has said it would greet Trump with billboards carrying messages such as “Welcome to Alabama, Liar.”
Since leaving office, Trump has regularly repeated his unsubstantiated claims that President Biden won the election because of fraud and irregularities.
Tickets to tonight’s event are free but are required. Register for tickets.
The U.S. Secret Service will prohibit chairs, coolers, alcoholic beverages, signs and placards, guns, knives, umbrellas, selfie sticks, tripods, and other items.
