President-elect Trump<\/a> is set to take the stage in Phoenix, Arizona, on Sunday to deliver his first rally-styled speech since his decisive win over Vice President Kamala Harris last month.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“We are incredibly honored that President Trump will deliver his first rally-style speech since the election at AmFest 2024 in Phoenix,” Turning Point USA and Turning Point Action chief Charlie Kirk said in a press release. “This was already the largest multi-day event in the movement, and this year will be the biggest we\u2019ve ever hosted, by far.”<\/p>\n

“When I spoke to the president, he said he\u2019d only do it if we called it a \u2018Tribute to Arizona,\u2019 so that\u2019s exactly what we\u2019re doing. President Trump knows the people of Arizona have always been with him, they\u2019re loyal to him and they just delivered the largest win for him of all of the swing states, giving him a 5.5% margin of victory.”<\/p>\n

Trump is expected to take the stage of the Phoenix Convention Center<\/a> at 10:30 a.m. local time Sunday, as part of Turning Point\u2019s annual AmericaFest \u2013 a four-day event billed as part of the “biggest conservative movement in the country.”<\/p>\n

LAWMAKERS REACT TO STOPGAP FUNDING AND AVERTING GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s address at the event comes just a day after Congress avoided a prolonged<\/a> government shutdown.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Senate passed a stopgap spending bill early Saturday morning \u2013 after the midnight deadline had passed and the government briefly shut down \u2013 and sent the legislation to President Biden for his signature.\u00a0<\/p>\n

PRESIDENT BIDEN SIGNS STOPGAP FUNDING BILL INTO LAW, NARROWLY AVERTING SHUTDOWN<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Last week, lawmakers had reached an agreement on a short-term spending bill that included more than 1,500 pages of text. Conservatives and Trump allies, spearheaded by billionaire Elon Musk, slammed the original and lengthy legislation, as negotiations came down to the wire last week, taking issue with provisions such as increasing lawmakers’ cost of living.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Trump called on Republicans to suspend the debt limit as part of their talks to avert a government shutdown, which has exceeded $36 trillion. The House crafted a new, 116-page bill that included suspending the debt limit for two years until January 2027,\u00a0roughly $110 billion in disaster relief aid for Americans affected by storms Milton and Helene, as well as a measure to fund rebuilding Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key Bridge.<\/p>\n

That bill failed 174 to 235, before House lawmakers negotiated and passed another version.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The final bill sent to Biden included economic relief for farmers and disaster aid for those affected by recent storms, but it did not include a suspension of the debt ceiling, which Trump had requested.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Trump has not spoken publicly since the bill\u2019s passage, although sources told Fox News that the incoming president is not that happy with the bill.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ahead of Trump\u2019s speech on Sunday, conservative lawmakers and allies, including Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, upcoming Trump administration “border czar” Tom Homan, comedian Rob Schenider, and Kirk will also take the stage.\u00a0<\/p>\n

AmericaFest kicked off on Dec. 19 in Phoenix and will conclude on Sunday following Trump\u2019s speech. The annual event is billed as one that reenergizes conservative students and voters “\u200b\u200ball while celebrating the greatest country<\/a> in the world.”<\/p>\n
