SALT LAKE CITY — Donald Trump is scheduled to make a brief visit to the Beehive state on Saturday.
According to Utah’s GOP Chairman Rob Axson, Trump was set to stop by Utah on his way to other states and towns. He said the former president wouldn’t be holding a rally or any public-facing event, but instead a “truncated meeting” with “those who want to donate” so they can do so, Axson said. He did not specify who the donors were.
The stop would be made during a route Trump was traveling in order to hit a string of battleground states ahead of the Nov. 5 election day.
