President Donald Trump will visit Northern Kentucky this week, making a stop in Hebron on March 11. The visit comes ahead of the Kentucky primaries, where Trump has endorsed a Republican challenger to incumbent Congressman Thomas Massie. Earlier in the day, the president is set to visit Cincinnati to discuss a new prescription drug website.

Why it matters

Trump's visit to Northern Kentucky is seen as an attempt to influence the upcoming Republican primary race between Massie and his challenger, Ed Gallrein. Massie has at times voted against the president, leading to a bitter feud between the two. The president's endorsement of Gallrein is a clear attempt to unseat the incumbent congressman.

The details

According to a White House invitation reviewed by The Louisville Courier Journal, Trump's event in Hebron will begin at 1 p.m. and take place at the Verst Logistics Contract Packaging Facility. The invitation includes no information about the purpose of his visit, only noting that the president will make "remarks." Earlier in the day, Trump is set to visit Cincinnati to discuss TrumpRx.gov, a new prescription drug website.
