It’s been almost one month since former President Donald Trump stepped on a rally stage after his last event in Wisconsin, but that dry spell ended in northeastern Pennsylvania.
Saturday’s rally, which took place just two days after President Biden visited the same region earlier this week and attacked Trump directly as some kind of occupying “MAGA force” within the country, will be a must-watch event. Though talk of a possible Labor Day 2024 presidential announcement seems to have tempered, anything is possible with Trump.
Joining Trump will be Dr. Mehmet Oz, candidate for U.S. Senate, Doug Mastriano, candidate for Governor, and Jim Bognet, candidate for Pennsylvania’s 8th congressional district.
Here are all the rally details including start time, live stream, ticket information, and how to attend.

Pennsylvania has become a recent tit-for-tat battleground between Trump and Biden personally as both will make the rounds over Labor Day weekend in the state backing various midterm candidates:
Former President Donald Trump is singling out Pennsylvania for his first rally of the general election on Saturday, where two of his most besieged candidates in the country are threatening to tarnish his record as a kingmaker.
The fact that he has zeroed in on the swing state for the politically symbolic Labor Day weekend, the unofficial kickoff of the midterms, demonstrates how pivotal Pennsylvania is to his success this year — and, more likely than not, a future presidential campaign.
Trump’s visit to the state also signals that he has prioritized coming to the aid of Senate candidate Mehmet Oz and gubernatorial hopeful Doug Mastriano, who have lagged behind their Democratic opponents in polling and fundraising.
But President Joe Biden is campaigning in Pennsylvania during the long weekend, too, an acknowledgment that the races here are far from over.
The Scranton area is Biden’s “hometown,” a point he used to recount often on the 2020 campaign trail to tout his working-class roots. As of recently, however, Biden seems to be caring less and less about what his inflationary policies are doing to households around the country, especially in areas like Scranton.
This will be the first public appearance Trump has made since the FBI raided his Mar-a-Lago residence in search of classified documents in early August. While that case continues in legal limbo, many will be tuning into the rally to see what Trump may say about the situation, if anything.
The event kicks off around 4 pm ET with Trump set to take the stage at 7 pm ET.
