Trump to host 'virtual rally' with Rush Limbaugh on Friday

A top conservative radio host whose adamant support of President Trump helped galvanize his election in 2016 scored a virtual visit from the commander in chief himself.

On his radio show Thursday afternoon, Rush Limbaugh said Trump will join him on the airwaves Friday as part of a "virtual rally."

“I’m thrilled to announce that our commander in chief, President Donald Trump, will be right here tomorrow hosting the largest virtual rally in radio history,” Limbaugh said during his show on Thursday. “It will be special, and I am really looking forward to it.”

Trump has been eager to resume campaigning only a week after he tested positive for COVID-19 a week ago, and Limbaugh's show provides an opportunity for the president to address his supporters remotely. Trump participated in his first TV interview since getting sick with Fox Business anchor Maria Bartiromo on Thursday morning, when he said he would not participate in a virtual debate against Joe Biden next week.
