Second Trump visit to state in a matter of weeks
Trump's visit to Tennessee comes four days before early voting begins in midterm elections that polls forecast will be a harsh rebuke for Republicans.
In his announcement of the rally on Truth Social, Trump said the event is to get our "Congressional Candidates, our Great Senator, Bill Hagerty, and a woman who will go down as one of the most
impactful Governors in the State’s History, Marsha Blackburn,” elected.
Blackburn shared the post, adding that she is “looking forward to a great day in Tennessee” with Trump.
His visit marks the second to the Volunteer State in a matter of weeks, after visiting the University of Tennessee Knoxville for the football game against the University of Texas on Sept. 26, where he sat with Blackburn.

What to know about tickets, weather forecast
Rally attendees can request a maximum of four tickets at a time at the RNC's events website here.
The president’s arrival will come as remnants of Hurricane Isaias push through the state, with forecasted heavy rainfall, strong winds and a low potential for spin-up tornadoes.
Trump was scheduled to attend an SEC football game between the University of Alabama and University of Georgia Saturday evening, but announced a cancellation of the appearance Oct. 9 on Truth Social due to the storm system.
According to the National Weather Service office in Nashville, Middle Tennessee is expected to receive between 1 to 3 inches of rain as a result of the storm system.
A flood watch is in place for several Middle Tennessee counties, including Bedford, Cheatham, Coffee, Davidson, Dickson, Giles, Grundy, Hickman, Humphreys, Lawrence, Lewis, Marshall, Maury, Perry, Rutherford, Wayne and Williamson.
The watch is in effect from 1 a.m. Oct. 10 to 7 a.m. Oct. 11.
