President Trump Visiting Phoenix For Turning Point USA Event
By Staff Reporter |
President Donald Trump will be coming to Phoenix later this month to attend an event by Turning Point USA (TPUSA).
Trump is scheduled to speak at the event, “Build The Red Wall,” to be hosted by Dream City Church.
TPUSA announced the president’s forthcoming appearance last week.
Also present to speak will be TPUSA CEO Erika Kirk, widow of the late former TPUSA founder and CEO Charlie Kirk, and Congressman Andy Biggs (R-AZ-05), a 2026 Republican candidate for Arizona governor. TPUSA noted that other speakers would be filling out the lineup “soon.”
“Build The Red Wall” appears to be a reference to ongoing rhetoric employed by Erika Kirk. In her speech last December at TPUSA’s annual AmericaFest, Kirk used the phrase in her endorsement of Vice President JD Vance for president in 2028.
“We are locked in, and mission-focused for both 2026 and 2028; we’re investing in states and not just in races. So what I mean by that is we are building the red wall, Arizona, Nevada, New Hampshire,” said Kirk. “We are going to get my husband’s friend JD Vance elected for 48 in the most resounding way possible.”
TPUSA rolled out its “Red Wall” plan during AmericaFest.
Brett Galazewski, National Enterprise Director of Turning Point Action, said the red wall represents a shift from the “blue wall,” or the key states historically guaranteed to deliver an election victory: Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin.
“2026 is going to be the make-or-break year to save our country,” said Galazewksi. “We believe our best path to the 270 electoral mark is a combination of Arizona, that’s always been important, Nevada, and then last, but certainly not least, New Hampshire.”
“Build The Red Wall” also appears to be affiliated to some degree with Turning Point Action’s Chase The Vote initiative.
The organization requires attendees to complete a check of their voter registration status in order to register for the event, using a form from Vote Online.
The Vote Online embedded form on TPUSA’s site asks individuals to submit their full name, email, phone number, date of birth, address, how they plan to vote, and whether it is their first time voting.
Vote Online is a nonprofit organization based in Phoenix, sharing an address with Turning Point Action.
Arizona Corporation Commission (ACC) records reflect the organization filed an application for authority with the ACC on March 17 of this year. That application is still pending as of this report.
Vote Online’s website does not disclose an affiliation with TPUSA or Turning Point Action. The nonprofit does have a webpage dedicated to donations, but it is not functional yet.
Vote Online’s privacy policy indicated the information used to fill out the voter registration form on the event registration page will be used by TPUSA or Turning Point Action for marketing and outreach efforts.
The “Build The Red Wall” event is scheduled to begin Friday, April 17, at 12 pm. Remarks are scheduled to begin at 2 pm. The event is first come, first serve.
