The former president will conclude his presidential campaigns in Grand Rapids, Michigan, as he did in 2016 and 2020.

The Trump campaign has revealed that the event will occur at Grand Rapids’ Van Andel Arena, with the doors opening at 6:30 p.m. and Trump scheduled to deliver his speech at 10:30 p.m.

Trump has held a late-night rally in Grand Rapids for the third time, highlighting the significance of Michigan as a swing state in his bid to regain the presidency.

Trump concluded his successful 2016 presidential campaign with a late-night rally at DeVos Place convention center in downtown Grand Rapids. He later ended his unsuccessful re-election bid with a rally at the Grand Rapids airport.

During the 2020 rally in the city, Trump questioned supporters, saying, "We can be a little superstitious, right?" while emphasizing the importance of finishing off the task at hand.

In 2016, Trump won Michigan by a narrow margin over Hillary Clinton, but lost the state to Biden in a close race in 2020.

Another tight race is predicted for 2024, with Harris leading by a small margin in the Real Clear Politics polling average and holding a slight lead in Michigan's betting odds, according to ElectionBettingOdds.com. However, the latest Planet Chronicle Power Rankings classify Michigan as a toss-up.

In 2024, Kent County, home to Grand Rapids, is predicted to be a crucial swing county in Michigan. Historically a Republican stronghold, the county has shifted towards Democrats in recent years. Trump won the county by three points in 2016, but Biden took it by six points in 2020.

"According to Victoria LaCivita, Team Trump Michigan Communications Director, Michiganders enjoy late-night rallies, and President Trump is fond of Michigan. Since the start of the campaign, Team Trump has recognized the importance of Michigan in winning the presidency, making it a crucial location to conclude the season."
