Fresh on the heels of a Nevada rally last night, former President Donald Trump continued the western swing of his midterm campaigning with a Save America rally on Sunday in Mesa, Arizona.
Arizona, like Nevada, features a key Senate and Governor’s race with two Trump-endorsed candidates running statewide in November. Joining Trump on stage Sunday will be Kari Lake, candidate for Governor of Arizona, and Blake Masters, candidate for U.S. Senate from Arizona. While both races are considered to be in the “toss up” range, Lake has been running a couple of points ahead of her Democratic challenger, Katie Hobbs, while Masters sits a few points behind incumbent Democratic Senator Mark Kelly.
Below you will find all the rally details including the live stream, start time, parking information, and how to tune in and watch the rally online.

Beyond stumping for Lake and Masters, Trump’s Save America PAC has started spending money in Arizona on behalf of both candidates. The ads, which started running this weekend, paint the upcoming election as a referendum on President Biden’s policies:
The commercial in Arizona takes aim at Democratic Sen. Mark Kelly and Secretary of State Katie Hobbs, the Democrats’ gubernatorial nominee. It supports GOP Senate nominee Blake Masters and gubernatorial nominee Kari Lake. Trump’s endorsements of Masters and Lake in heavily contested Republican primaries were instrumental in boosting them to victories over more mainstream conservative candidates.
“Mark Kelly and Katie Hobbs are with Joe Biden, not you. If they win, Arizona will get more illegal immigration, more inflation and more lost jobs,” the narrator in the spot claims. “Take our country back. Secure Arizona’s future. Vote for Blake Masters and Kari Lake.”
Trump’s PAC is also making ad buys in Nevada, Ohio, and Pennsylvania as well. The move marks a first step toward what will likely be millions of dollars in ad spending for more Trump-endorsed candidates around the country.
Some of the most recent polling in the state shows a tie between Hobbs and Lake with a margin-of-error lead for Kelly over Masters:
In the race for U.S. Senate, incumbent Sen. Mark Kelly (D) is hoping for re-election against Republican Blake Masters. In the governor’s race, former television anchor Kari Lake (R) is vying with Democratic Sec. of State Katie Hobbs.
According to the poll released Wednesday, Oct. 5, Kelly holds a slim 3-point lead over Masters.
When broken down by the issues, the differences become much more evident.
Likely voters say the economy and immigration are the most important issues, and this is where Masters holds the edge.
68% of those who say immigration is very important support Masters, giving him a 37-point lead in that issue.
59% of registered voters think Masters would support policies that make the border more secure, 40% say Kelly would support policies that would make the border less secure.
Masters leads Kelly on several fronts, however, including the economy and immigration, two major issues for Republicans and many Democrats alike. If Kelly and Hobbs are counting on the pro-abortion crowd to show up and save them on Election Day, they could be left holding the bag. Ultimately, as with all these “toss up” races, the end result will come down to motivation and turnout.
The festivities kick off at 1 pm local time with Trump expected to take the stage at 4 pm MT (7 pm ET). Follow the Trump rally schedule for more details and to stay updated on upcoming events.
