President Trump once again sought to steal the spotlight from Democrats on a big night, counterprogramming their Nevada debate with a Phoenix campaign rally.
from Democrats, holding a rally during the January debate and putting on events in Iowa and New Hampshire days before voters cast ballots in those states. He'll hold another rally in Nevada on Friday, the day before the state's caucuses.No Democrat has won Arizona's 11 electoral votes since Bill Clinton in 1996, but it has a growing Hispanic population, and Democrats view the once solidly red state as within reach.
Along with firing up his base and garnering local media coverage, the rally will also provide the campaign with tens of thousands of email addresses and cellphone numbers from those who signed up for tickets — information the campaign can use to mine for donors and volunteers to get better insights into the type of voter who is supporting Trump as it looks to find untapped groups of new supporters.

He wants to raise your taxes, open your borders, give away free health care to illegal immigrants, and he wants to obliterate your Second Amendment," Trump said.During the 2018 midterm elections, four Democrats won statewide offices, including Kyrsten Sinema, whose victory over McSally made her the first Democrat to win a Senate seat from Arizona since 1988.
