El Paso GOP Trump rally to take place a block from Beto campaign kickoff Downtown
The El Paso County Republican Party will have a "Support Trump Rally" on Saturday countering Democrat Beto O'Rourke's campaign kickoff a block away Downtown.
The GOP demonstration supporting President Donald Trump will be 9:30 a.m. to 11 a.m. at the corner of Santa Fe Street and West Overland Avenue.
An El Paso GOP announcement stated that the location is tentative, participants are asked to bring a small flag and "Make America Great Again" caps will be available.
O'Rourke, a former El Paso congressman and Senate candidate, announced earlier this month that he is running for president.
O'Rourke's official presidential campaign kickoff event will be at 10 a.m. Saturday on South El Paso at Overland.
It will be the first of three events O'Rourke will have across Texas on Saturday. He'll be in Houston in the afternoon and in Austin in that evening.
On Feb. 11, Trump had a campaign rally at the El Paso County Coliseum while O'Rourke was nearby at a competing march.
