Former President Donald Trump is scheduled to speak Saturday at a rally outside Quincy, Illinois.
Trump will face Rep. Mary Miller in an Illinois Congressional primary against his House Republican Rep. Rodney Davis.
Miller is a representative of the first term in the 15th District of the Illinois Congress, which has been dramatically redrawn in the redistricting process once in a decade. Davis, who for a decade has represented the neighboring District 13, is running against Miller for the new very red seat in the central part of the state, which contains large expanses of his current district.
Trump has backed Miller ahead of Tuesday’s primaries, which she says have been “huge” for his campaign.
