MOON TWP. — President Donald Trump’s campaign announced on Thursday that he will visit Pittsburgh International Airport next week, which would come just three weeks after his latest western Pennsylvania stop.

Billed as a “Great American Comeback” event, the rally is scheduled to start at 7 p.m. Tuesday with doors opening at 4 p.m.

The address of the rally site provided by the campaign is for Atlantic Aviation, which has a hangar adjacent to the airport’s runway that is occasionally used by presidential candidates for rallies.

President Donald Trump, shown here at a rally at Arnold Palmer Regional Airport in Latrobe on Sept. 3, is scheduled to hold a rally at Pittsburgh International Airport on Tuesday.

Registration for tickets to the rally can be done at donaldjtrump.com.

Trump was in Latrobe on Sept. 3 for a rally after Democratic challenger and former Vice President Joe Biden was in Pittsburgh earlier that week for a more low-key visit in which he denounced violence linked to recent protests.

Pennsylvania, which Trump narrowly won by 44,000 votes in 2016, is a key battleground state that is worth 20 electoral votes.

The president’s visit will also come less than two weeks after Vice President Mike Pence attended an anti-abortion event in Murrysville, Westmoreland County, and hosted a “Workers for Trump” rally at a natural gas drilling site in New Sewickley Township, Beaver County.
