President Donald Trump was slated to talk Tuesday evening about the U.S. economy during a public rally in eastern Pennsylvania.
Trump's campaign-style address at Mount Airy Casino Resort in Monroe County, a key swing area, at 6 p.m. ET was expected to focus on the economy and growing concerns among Americans over affordability. Trump has claimed that the economy has not been sluggish amid his plummeting approval rating.
The messaging has come into question as the Republican Party sees significant signs in recent elections that their constituents are struggling financially, and this discontent could hurt the GOP's strategy for the upcoming midterm elections in 2026.
The move marks one of the president's first returns to domestic speaking in months.
