CEDAR RAPIDS - President Donald Trump will visit Cedar Rapids after all.
The president, who postponed a June 1 rally in Cedar Rapids, announced Monday he'll visit June 21 for a 7 p.m. rally at the U.S. Cellular Center, 370 First Ave. NE.
Free general admission tickets are available at donaldjtrump.com/rallies/cedar-rapids-ia. Doors open at 4 p.m.
When Trump postponed his rally, his representatives said the mid-June rally would double as a farewell or send-off for former Gov. Terry Branstad, who has been confirmed as the president's ambassador to China.
Trump last visited Iowa in December as part of his 'thank you” tour following his victory in the 2016 presidential election. That rally in Des Moines drew about 6,000 people.
He last visited Cedar Rapids in October, shortly before that election. He also visited Cedar Rapids shortly after he was nominated at the Republican National Convention in July.
