Donald Trump is back on the campaign trail tonight, with a Make America Great Again (MAGA) rally scheduled in Richmond, Kentucky. Trump, keeping a busy rally schedule ahead of the important Nov. 6 mid-term elections, will campaign in Kentucky for three-term Republican congressman Rep. Andy Barr, who's in a tough fight with Democrat Amy McGrath, a retired Marine fighter pilot.
You can watch President Trump's Richmond, Kentucky rally tonight at Eastern Kentucky University via live stream below. It starts tonight (Saturday) at 7 p.m. Eastern Time and will be held at the Alumni Coliseum. C-Span will broadcast the rally live. It is available here. Also, several conservative political broadcasters including Fox News (below) are in Richmond.
President Trump hopes to help Rep. Barr keep his seat for another term since Democrats have focused on the seat in their drive to regain control of the House.
Trump tweeted before today's trip that Barr is a "fantastic guy" whose vote the president needs to make America great again," the AP reported. Trump said Barr was strong on crime, tax cuts, the military, veterans and the Second Amendment.

The AP reported that "with just over three weeks before Election Day, Saturday's rally was part of an aggressive fall campaign push by Trump to energize Republicans and encourage them to help keep his legislative agenda moving forward by voting to keep the GOP in control of both houses of Congress."
"Together, we've made unbelievable progress, and we're just getting started. We have so many other things," Trump said at a rally Friday night in Ohio. "If you vote to elect Republican House, Republican Senate, we will continue to cut your taxes, cut your regulations, and raise your incomes very, very substantially."
