In a last-minute move, President Donald Trump’s team has decided to make some changes to the original plan. He will still come to Texas to rally support behind Ken Paxton in the race for U.S. Senate, but the cities and times have been changed.

Is Trump Still Coming to Lubbock?

Yes, Donald Trump is still scheduled to make an appearance at Lubbock’s rally on Tuesday, October 27, although the time did change. Instead of the rally starting at 11 a.m., it will now open its doors at 2:30 p.m. at the Lubbock Memorial Civic Center with Trump’s speech set for 6 p.m.

Information on how to get tickets to the rally in Lubbock can be found on the GOP website. 

It is not confirmed, but many speculate that the reason for the time change is because James Talarico, Paxton’s Democratic opponent in the U.S. Senate race, will be rallying at the Texas Tech campus at 7 p.m., and this is a chance for Trump and the Republican party to compete.

Trump Will Not Visit Waco

The other major change is that Donald Trump will no longer be visiting Waco on Tuesday before coming to Lubbock. Instead, the President and Vice President will both be visiting Corpus Christi as they rally support ahead of the midterm elections on November 3.

The decision to choose Corpus Christi over Waco was never fully explained, only that the stop is intended to rally support behind Republican candidate Eric Flores in his race against U.S. Rep. Vicente Gonzalez.

Tuesday, October 27, will be chock-full for the President. His visit to Corpus Christi will be at 2 p.m. before making a mad dash to Lubbock to speak at the Memorial Civic Center at 6 p.m.

How Trump will make it from Corpus Christi to Lubbock in less than four hours is beyond me, but I’m sure he’ll make it happen.
