Trump Jr. headed to Rio Grande Valley on heels of local conservative push

McALLEN — Donald Trump Jr. is headed to the Rio Grande Valley on July 18 for a rescheduled visit that local Republicans have looked forward to since October.

Trump Jr. was supposed to visit McAllen just a month ahead of the November election with his paramour, Kimberly Guilfoyle. The then-president’s son had planned to plug his book, “Liberal Privilege: Joe Biden And The Democrats’ Defense Of The Indefensible,” at a luncheon, but the visit was postponed after a White House COVID-19 outbreak that sent Donald Trump Sr. to the hospital.

When Trump Jr. finally does make it to the Valley on the 18th he’ll still be plugging the same book, but a couple of the finer details have changed. He’ll be at Payne Arena in Hidalgo instead of the Valencia Event Center, he’s speaking to Valley residents at breakfast time instead of lunch, there’s no mention of Guilfoyle in promotional material and tickets are $20 cheaper.

Things have changed for Trump Jr. and for the people likely to be in the audience next Sunday.

We were able to carry three Democratic congressional seats in the RGV, but with Filemon Vela retiring, Cuellar being criticized from progressives, and Gonzalez being mentioned as a lightweight it looks like the RGV is vulnerable. Therefore, anyone from the conservative movement that shows up along the border represents a threat. I'm not willing to dismiss or ignore any of TFG's spawn at this point.

The right wing radio propaganda is active. Spanish stations, churches and gun rights crap. I don’t see Democrats making gains in this region.
