Former President Trump campaigns in Arizona
PRESCOTT VALLEY, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY/NBC) - Former President Donald Trump campaigned in Arizona Sunday afternoon.
The rally happened at Findlay Toyota Center in Prescott Valley, and the rally comes 23 days until the election.
The campaign rally comes after First Lady Dr. Jill Biden visited Yuma on Friday, and Vice President Kamala Harris visited Scottsdale on Friday as well.
Prior to the rally, Trump held a roundtable discussion with elected officials, influencers, Latter-day Saints and faith leaders, according to sources.
While speaking at the rally, the former president continued to ramp up his attacks against Vice President Kamala Harris and the Biden administration, particularly over its immigration policies.
"Kamala shouldn't be running she shouldn't even be running she didn't get any votes, so what you want about Biden, I'm not a fan of Biden I'm no fan, nobody's a fan of Biden, but you know what he got: 14 million votes, she got none."

Tramp, rallying voters in the state that he lost to President Joe Biden in 2020, encouraged the crowd to participate in early voting and pledging to end illegal immigration if he wins the presidency.
"If Kamala gets four more years the entire country will be turned into a migrant camp and that's what's happened. Million and millions of people. When I win on November 5th the migrant invasion ends and the restoration of our country begins," the former president said.
During the rally, the National Border Patrol Council endorsed the former president, with the organization's President Paul Perez saying Trump has always stood with the thousands of men and women who protect the border.
"If we allow border czar Harris to win this election, every city, every community in this great country is going to go to hell.
The untold millions of people unvetted who she has allowed into this country that are committing murders, rapes, robberies, burglaries and every other crime will continue to put our country in peril. Only one man can fix that. That is Donald J. Trump."

Trump says he will hire 10,000 new Border Patrol agents and ask Congress to give all agents a 10% raise.
Republican Senate candidate Kari Lake also spoke at the rally.
On Monday, Trump will participate in a town hall in battleground Pennsylvania.
