President Trump will hold a campaign rally in North Dakota later this month focusing on his summit with North Korea’s Kim Jong Un as well as economic issues, according to his campaign.
Trump’s campaign said in a press release on Friday that the president “is expected to discuss his historic summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and the booming economy, including record low unemployment rates.”

Trump won the state over Hillary Clinton handily, 63 percent to 27 percent.
“Following the President’s historic summit in Singapore and continued great news about our booming economy, this rally will be a high energy experience for the patriots in the great state of North Dakota who will be there with us,” wrote Michael Glassner, the campaign’s chief operating officer.
The rally will be held June 27, one week after the president’s scheduled rally in Duluth, Minn.
North Dakota is home to several close races this election cycle, as Democratic Sen. Heidi Heitkamp seeks reelection in the deep-red state and faces a challenge from GOP Rep. Kevin Cramer (N.D.).
“Far too often in Congress, extreme views on the right and left get all the attention. I believe that you get results by talking with and working with those on either side of the aisle. That’s the North Dakota way. It’s for that reason that I’ve been able to accomplish a great deal for our state,” Heitkamp said in a statement last year announcing her reelection bid.
Cramer is vacating the state’s lone House seat, which will be fought over by former state Sen. Mac Schneider (D) and state Sen. Kelly Armstrong (R).
Cramer previously won reelection in 2016 over Chase Iron Eyes (D), securing 69 percent of the vote compared to his opponent’s 23 percent.
