GLENDALE, Ariz. – Donald Trump will be back in the Arizona for a campaign event at Desert Diamond Arena next week, as announced by Turning Point Action.
The former president is scheduled to visit the critical swing state following the conclusion of the Democratic National Convention taking place this week in Chicago.
It will be the Trump campaign’s first chance to fire back at Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, after they deliver their message to the DNC following their late addition to the Presidential ticket.
The Swing State Shuffle: Trump in NC, Harris Gains in MI, and PA’s Decisive Districts
In this episode of Battleground, we dive into the heart of the 2024 presidential race as it heats up in three crucial swing states. We start in North Carolina, where Donald Trump is battling to regain lost ground with a series of high-stakes campaign events. Then, we head to Michigan to explore how auto workers are shifting the balance in favor of Kamala Harris, transforming Democrats from underdogs to frontrunners. Finally, we take a deep dive into the Keystone State, examining the five critical regions that will determine who wins Pennsylvania’s coveted electoral votes.
Trump is expected to take aim at the liberal economic and border policy proposals that Harris has championed throughout her campaign and career.
They are among the top two issues on the minds of voters in recent FOX polling.
Desert Diamond Arena becomes political hotspot
Desert Diamond Arena in the Westgate Entertainment District of Glendale is the same place Harris and Walz rallied on Aug. 9.
It is the former home of the Arizona Coyotes and holds a capacity of 20,000.
Trump’s previous rally in Arizona was on June 6, his first rally after a felony conviction for falsifying business documents in New York.
It was held at the Phoenix Dream City Church, which has a capacity of 3,000 people.
The Harris event drew 15,000 attendees, according to her campaign.
FOX News polling has the candidates neck-and-neck
While there is still more than two months until election day, projections have the two candidates extremely close.
An Aug. 14 poll from Fox shows Trump with a 1-point lead with his strongest support coming from men, evangelical Christians and rural voters.
Harris’ strong support is from women, Black voters and those under age 30.
What to expect on Aug. 23:
Doors to the rally open at 12:00 p.m. and Trump is expected to deliver remarks at 4:00 p.m.
Pre-programing for the event is expected to start at 2:00 p.m.
General admission tickets are available on the Trump website.

- Always tell someone where you are hiking and when to plan to return
Preventing heat exhaustion/heat stroke
The Arizona Department of Health Services stated the following precautions can be taken to prevent heat exhaustion or heat stroke:
- Stay in air-conditioned buildings
- Find a cooling center/hydration station
- Limit outdoor activity during the hottest part of the day (mid-day)
- Check on at-risk friends, family, and neighbors at least twice a day
- Drink water before, during, and after working or exercising outside
- Check the UV Index
- Check the heat risk map
Driving in extreme temperatures
The Arizona Department of Transportation’s tips for driving in extreme temperatures include:
Have sun protection: In addition to an umbrella, take sunscreen and a wide-brimmed hat and wear loose-fitting, light-colored cotton clothing.
Fuel up: Keep your tank at three-quarters full. Running out of gas, especially in a remote location, is dangerous in extreme heat.
Hydrate: Take a cooler to keep extra drinking water cold, and consider adding several frozen bottles of water to use for cooling off or to thaw and drink if needed. Make sure everyone, including pets, stays hydrated.
Get help: If your vehicle breaks down in extreme heat, call for assistance right away to reduce wait time, and run the AC. If the AC isn’t working, roll down all windows.
Wait safely: If the temperature inside your vehicle becomes too hot, everyone, including pets, should exit carefully and seek out or create a shaded area as far away from the travel lanes as possible. Be careful walking on the road surface, which can be hot enough to burn skin. Keep your shoes on and try to keep your pets’ paws off the pavement. If you are stopped along the highway, raise the front hood and turn on hazard lights. Please keep in mind that parking in tall brush can start a fire.
Check your vehicle: You can help avoid breakdowns and blowouts by making sure your vehicle is in good operating condition. Check your air conditioner and coolant levels, top off any vital engine fluids and make sure your battery is up to par. Check your tire pressure, as the combination of under inflated tires and hot pavement can lead to a blowout.
Preparing for a severe thunderstorm
The American Red Cross’ tips for preparing for a severe thunderstorm:
- Put together an emergency kit.
- Know your community’s evacuation plan.
- Create a household disaster plan and practice it.
- Purchase a battery-powered or hand-crank radio
- Discuss thunderstorm safety with members of your household. Be aware that a thunderstorm could produce flooding.
- Pick a safe place in your home for household members to gather during a thunderstorm. This should be a place where there are no windows, skylights, or glass doors, which could be broken by strong winds or hail and cause damage or injury.
Be prepared and stay safe during the monsoon
“Most Valley residents know how quickly and furiously storms can move in and out, bringing strong winds, dust, rain, and flash flooding. These storms can cause interruptions in services, such as water, power, and gas,” stated Captain Ashley Losch of the Glendale Fire Department.
GFD reminds residents of ways they can be prepared and stay safe:
- Have flashlights with extra batteries on hand.
- Have food that can be prepared without the need for cooking or refrigeration.
- Have at least one gallon of clean water for each person in the household.
- Have backup power for anyone requiring power for a medical device.
- Have backup power for cell phones that do not require charging.
- Have a first aid kit ready and accessible.
- Never drive into areas with flowing water; it takes less than 10 inches to wash a car away.
- Avoid flooded areas, such as washes.
- If waters are rising, seek higher ground.
- Do not approach downed power lines, the ground can be energized for up to 200 feet.
- Keep pets indoors during storms.

Cards vs Colts: How to Watch, Listen, Stream
![Cards vs Colts: How to Watch, Listen, Stream Cards vs Colts: How to Watch, Listen, Stream](https://images2.minutemediacdn.com/image/upload/c_crop,w_5322,h_2993,x_0,y_64/c_fill,w_1440,ar_16:9,f_auto,q_auto,g_auto/images/ImagnImages/mmsport/all_cardinals/01j5et415dm37fkcb61z.jpg)
Who: Arizona Cardinals at Indianapolis Colts
What: NFL Preseason, Week 2
When: Saturday, August 17 at 7:00 PM EST/4:00 PM PST
Where: Lucas Oil Stadium, Indianapolis, Indiana
The Arizona Cardinals and Indianapolis Colts continue their preseason preparation after two joint practices against each other earlier in the week.
“It got a little feisty but you expect that on Day 2 of a joint practice,” linebacker Krys Barnes told AZCardinals.com. “I think we handled it pretty well. Thankfully they probably ended it right before it got out of hand, but I think we got the work we needed.”
After both teams lost their opener last week, the Cardinals and Colts look to bounce back in the win column.
Winning is the goal, though preseason play is more so about player evaluations – and while we do know the Colts won’t be playing their starters, the Cardinals’ starters (excluding Kyler Murray, who won’t play at all in preseason) are still unknown when the team takes the field at Lucas Oil Stadium.
Regardless of who does and doesn’t play, there’s sure to be some good action on Saturday night – here’s how to enjoy it:
HOW TO WATCH: Arizona’s Family (Channel 3)
HOW TO STREAM: NFL+
HOW TO LISTEN: Arizona Sports 98.7 FM
EN ESPANOL: Fuego 106.7 FM
The Cardinals will again see Clayton Tune and Desmond Ridder duke it out as the QB2 battle in the desert continues. It should also be interesting to monitor rookies such as Dadrion Taylor-Demerson and Darius Robinson on the defensive side of the ball – both of whom had strong starts to their preseason campaign vs New Orleans.

Wildcat Radio 2.0 is a semi-weekly podcast that takes a look at Arizona Wildcats sports through a thoughtful, humorous, hopefully insightful lens. Fans but not homers, hosts Adam Green (of AZ Desert Swarm fame) and Brett Berry (UA Class of 2007, football season ticket holder) do their best to inform and entertain while chatting about whatever is going on, often times with the help of guests from all over the country.
This week the guys are back to continue with their football depth chart preview while also chatting with Justin McIllice of McIllice Sports to learn about Arizona’s ranking in the College Football Atlas. It’s probably a bit lower than you think, but there’s reasons (and hope).
