President Donald Trump will hold a Thursday evening rally in Bossier City, Louisiana, a day after the House started its public impeachment hearings and two days before Saturday’s gubernatorial runoff election between incumbent Democrat John Bel Edwards and Republican challenger Eddie Rispone.
Stay tuned to Breitbart News for live updates. All times eastern.

8:38 PM: Trump now speaking about rebuilding the military and mentions the B-52 bombers at Barksdale AFB. “Our country is respected again,” Trump says. “With the awesome strength of the American warrior, we are defeating radical Islamic terrorism and the bloodthirsty savage known as al-Baghdadi is dead.” Trump says America’s enemies “don’t stand a chance” against the “power of the U.S. military.” He says America is “respected at the highest levels” now.
8:35 PM: Trump brings up the LSU-Alabama game. He says he’s thrilled to be back in the “Bayou State.” He says Rispone will “bring down your car insurance, bring down your taxes.” He calls Rispone a “true Louisiana patriot.” Trump says he really needs voters to send Washington a message that they will not let them destroy their futures and rob their children. Trump says voters have to vote on Saturday and then “go to the game.” LSU plays AT Ole Miss.
8:30 PM: Trump ready to take the stage.

7:45 PM: Trump returns to a state that is buzzing with excitement after LSU likely punched its ticket to the SEC title game last weekend with its victory in Tuscaloosa and quarterback “Jeaux Burreaux” likely locked up his Heisman and may have jumped to the top of the draft board with his performance. Trump the campaigner and candidate fits the GOP base like head coach Ed Orgeron just fits LSU. That can’t be said for many of the candidates he often campaigns for on the stump.
Trump’s rally is scheduled to start at 8 PM ET, but will likely a bit later… just as the Thursday Night Football game between resurgent and surging Stillers and the Cleveland Browns kicks off.
