President Donald Trump will make his first post-election visit to Minnesota later this month at a rally in Duluth.
The event is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. on June 20 at the Duluth Entertainment Convention Center, according to an event posting on the president's campaign website. It does not say what he will discuss during his visit.
In a statement, Jennifer Carnahan, state GOP chairwoman, said Minnesota Republicans were looking forward to the "momentum and positive energy" that the president will bring to the state during a busy election cycle.
"We are so excited to welcome President Trump back to Minnesota next week," Carnahan said. "The importance of Minnesota this election cycle — in influencing the balance of power in Washington, D.C., for the next two years — and ensuring we send the president conservative reinforcements, depends on our ability to make Minnesota red."
People interested in attending the rally can register for up to two tickets online.
Trump's visit will come just under two months before Minnesota holds its primary election.
His chosen location is in the Eighth Congressional District, where an open race for retiring U.S. Rep. Rick Nolan's seat is expected to be among the most competitive in the country.
Trump's last stop in Minnesota was in November 2016, when he held a rally just before Election Day at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport.
