Colorado Republicans will gather to cheer Trump’s 2020 kickoff
When President Donald Trump ceremoniously kicks off his re-election campaign Tuesday evening, Colorado Republicans will huddle together to watch the event at gatherings up and down the Front Range.
Florida is one of the must-win states for the next president. Democrats will debate there on June 26 and 27 in Miami.

“Wow! Just got word that our June 18th, Tuesday, ANNOUNCEMENT in Orlando, Florida, already has 74,000 requests for a 20,000 seat Arena,” Trump tweeted Tuesday. “With all of the big events that we have done, this ticket looks to be the ‘hottest’ of them all. See you in Florida!”
