President Donald Trump headlined the “Build the Red Wall” rally April 17, 2026, at Dream City Church in Phoenix, Arizona, alongside Erika Kirk and Congressman Andy Biggs, organizers said. The event, hosted by Turning Point USA, aimed to energize Trump’s base in the state by echoing his prior calls for a U.S.-Mexico border wall, according to TPUSA officials.
Pre-programming is scheduled to begin at noon, followed by main remarks from the speakers at 2 p.m., officials said. The event is organized by TPUSA, a conservative nonprofit group, which announced the lineup and schedule on its website and through media outlets, including FOX10 Phoenix.
The rally will take place April 17 at Dream City Church in Phoenix, with doors opening at 10 a.m. local time, according to event details posted on the Turning Point USA (TPUSA) website as of March 31.
Alongside former President Trump, the event will feature Erika Kirk, widow of TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk, and Republican Congressman Andy Biggs of Arizona, according to TPUSA officials and the event listing. The three speakers were confirmed in announcements made on March 31. FOX10 Phoenix also reported on the event and confirmed the presence of Trump, Kirk, and Biggs through a video segment aired that day.
The “Build the Red Wall” rally’s theme reflects Trump’s longstanding advocacy for a U.S.-Mexico border wall. TPUSA officials said the event aims to energize Trump’s political base in Arizona, a key battleground state, ahead of the 2024 election cycle. The group characterized the rally as a continuation of Trump’s border security agenda, which has been a central issue in his previous campaigns.
Dream City Church was selected as the venue for the event, with no additional information released about the venue’s capacity or logistical arrangements, according to TPUSA sources. The church is located in Phoenix, a city that has played a significant role in recent electoral contests in Arizona. TPUSA officials indicated that the location was chosen to maximize outreach to supporters in the region.
The announcement of the rally was first made public on March 31, with coverage by National Today and FOX10 Phoenix citing TPUSA as the source. FOX10’s nightly news roundup on March 31 included the event among its top stories, highlighting the participation of Trump, Kirk, and Biggs. TPUSA’s website remains the primary source for event updates and specific details.
Erika Kirk’s participation in the rally marks her first public speaking engagement at a major TPUSA event since the death of her husband, Charlie Kirk, the organization’s founder. No further personal details or statements from Erika Kirk have been released in connection with the event, according to TPUSA communications.
The rally is expected to draw significant media attention due to its high-profile speakers and the politically charged theme. Trump’s border wall advocacy has been a subject of debate and controversy in past election cycles, and the event is positioned as a rallying point for supporters who favor stricter immigration policies.
Turning Point USA, the host organization, is known for its conservative activism on college campuses and beyond. The group’s involvement in organizing the “Build the Red Wall” rally underscores its ongoing efforts to influence political discourse in battleground states like Arizona.
As of March 31, no additional speakers or participants have been announced for the rally. Organizers have not released information on ticketing, security measures, or expected attendance figures. The event’s outcome and impact on local and national political dynamics will be monitored closely in the lead-up to the 2024 elections.
