1st Lady Jill Biden To Counter Trump Pittsburgh-Area Appearance

PITTSBURGH, PA — First lady Jill Biden will make an appearance in Pittsburgh on Saturday as former President Donald Trump holds a rally in Butler County.

Biden is expected to arrive at Pittsburgh International Airport at around 4 p.m. Saturday, then speak at an Italian Sons and Daughters of America dinner in the city. It will be her second appearance in town in little more than a month; she spoke at a Pride event in Pittsburgh in June.

The first lady's appearance comes as President Joe Biden faces increasing pressure to drop out of the race after a disastrous debate showing against Trump last month. The president's many stumbles during the event sparked mounting beliefs that the 81-year-old Biden is unfit to serve a second term.

Trump, the presumptive GOP presidential nominee, will appear at the Butler Farm Show grounds on July 13 at 5 p.m. Trump is visiting the battleground Keystone State just two days before the Republican convention begins in Milwaukee on July 15.

The rally will be Trump's first visit to Pennsylvania during the current presidential campaign.
