Limbaugh, Hannity joining Trump on campaign trail
Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity will join President Trump at a rally on the eve of this week’s midterm elections, the Trump campaign announced Sunday.
The two conservative media personalities will join Trump for a rally Monday night in Cape Girardeau, Mo.

“We’re glad to welcome Cape Girardeau native Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity as special guests to this final stop on the tour where President Trump will make his case to the American people to support GOP candidates on Election Day in order to continue our great American comeback under his leadership,” Michael Glassner, chief operating officer of the Trump campaign, said in the statement.
A spokesperson for Fox News told The Hill that Hannity will be hosting his show from the rally location and interviewing Trump.
Hannity clarified Monday that he will not appear on stage at the rally, writing in a tweet that he will be “covering final rally for my show.”
The campaign also announced that country music star Lee Greenwood will join Trump at that rally as well as a rally earlier in the evening in Chattanooga, Tenn.
