President Donald Trump will speak Wednesday at Wheeler High School in the Atlanta suburb of Marietta, Georgia, to discuss the Trump account and appear with Georgia Republican lawmakers ahead of the midterm elections.
The school is located in a county that President Trump lost in 2016, 2020 and 2024, has a diverse student body, and is part of the second largest school district in the state.
Trump is expected to be joined by gubernatorial candidate Rick Jackson and Senate candidate Mike Collins during the event, but the White House did not say whether they would speak or whether Trump would talk about the campaign.
When will President Trump speak?
President Trump will visit Georgia on Wednesday, July 22nd.
Trump is scheduled to speak at Wheeler High School in Marietta. The school is located at 375 Holt Road, Marietta, Georgia, 30068. The school is approximately 40 miles northwest of downtown Atlanta.
The event is scheduled to start at 2 p.m.
Those wishing to attend the event in person can request tickets through the White House website.
Local groups are organizing protests before, during and after the speech, which could affect traffic in the area.

What is Mr. Trump expected to say?
Cobb County is Georgia’s second largest public school district, serving more than 105,000 students. It is also the 23rd largest school district in the United States. The district says its students rank No. 1 in metro Atlanta on the Georgia Milestones test and regularly outperform state and national ACT and SAT averages.
“We look forward to welcoming the president and introducing him to the high-quality academic options that make Cobb a great place to raise a family,” Chief Strategic Officer John Floresta said in a statement.
The school setting will likely reinforce Trump’s expected comments about the future of America’s youth, including his recent launch of the Trump account.
“Through the Trump Account, President Trump is giving every American child a head start in life, a nest egg to grow up with, and a real bet on their future,” White House press secretary Liz Houston said in a statement.
The program, which launched on July 4, will provide $1,000 to children born between 2025 and 2028, acting as a type of IRA for children. Children under the age of 18 can start a Trump Account (through a parent or legal guardian) but will not receive the $1,000 federal contribution.
