Newsmax's special coverage of Trump's AmericaFest appearance will begin at 11:30 a.m. ET. Newsmax 2, which viewers can find on the network's YouTube, Rumble, X, and Facebook pages, also will stream the event.
Turning Point USA, founded by Charlie Kirk and Bill Montgomery in 2012, advocates for conservative politics on high school and college campuses.
"We are incredibly honored that President Trump will deliver his first rally-style speech since the election at AmFest 2024 in Phoenix," Kirk said in a press release, KTAR reported. "This was already the largest multi-day event in the movement, and this year will be the biggest we've ever hosted, by far.
"When I spoke to the president, he said he'd only do it if we called it a 'Tribute to Arizona,' so that's exactly what we're doing. President Trump knows the people of Arizona have always been with him, they're loyal to him and they just delivered the largest win for him of all of the swing states, giving him a 5.5% margin of victory."
The AmericaFest agenda shows Trump, who's slated to speak for 90 minutes, beginning at 10:30 a.m. local time (12:30 p.m. ET).
Former Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and Trump's border czar, Tom Homan, are scheduled to speak Sunday before Trump.
