A look at the lines to President Trumps rally in Prescott today. I’m guessing 30k plus turned out to see the president. Many just hanging outside the venue to show their support. @abc15 pic.twitter.com/W7PGr3J3Ai

.@realdonaldTrump incoming to Prescott (Press-kitt for all you non Arizonans out there) by way of Sky Harbor. It's the beating heart of rural red Arizona. John McCain would end every campaign in the city square at the courthouse steps.

President Trump's campaign team has focused heavily on Arizona in recent months as the November election approaches.
Donald Trump Jr. was in town Thursday for a "Latter-day Saints for Trump" event, and Ivanka Trump visited for a separate event over the past weekend. President Trump's last visit to the Valley was September 14 for a "Latinos for Trump" event in Phoenix.
Trump resumed his campaign events last weekend after recovering from the coronavirus.
According to the campaign, everyone in attendance “will be given a temperature check, masks which they are instructed to wear, and access to hand sanitizer.”
