Donald Trump to formally launch 2020 US presidential campaign on June 18 in Orlando, Florida
- US president says he will hold rally with Melania Trump, Vice-President Mike Pence and Pence’s wife, Karen, at the 20,000-seat Amway Centre
- Trump considers Florida something of a second home and won the state in 2016
US President Donald Trump announced on Friday he will be formally launching his 2020 re-election campaign on June 18 in Florida, beginning what may prove to be a difficult bid for another four years at the White House.
In a tweet, Trump said he would hold a rally with his wife Melania, Vice-President Mike Pence, and Pence’s wife, Karen, at the 20,000-seat Amway Centre in Orlando, Florida.
“Join us for this historic rally!” he wrote.
Trump has already been raising money for his re-election and holding political rallies for many months.
But the official roll-out for his 2020 campaign will take place around the four-year anniversary of the day in New York in 2016 when he rode the escalator at Trump Tower down to a crowd of supporters and announced his candidacy.
