The campaign season so far has been somewhat atypical. Former President Donald Trump suffered a graze wound to his ear during a July 13 assassination attempt at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, where one attendee died and at least two others were injured. About a week later, President Joe Biden announced he no longer planned to accept the Democratic nomination and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for the job.

The July 21 announcement came after weeks of Democratic calls for Biden, 81, to step aside, citing concerns about his mental acuity.

Meanwhile, Independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has been fighting to share the spotlight. He answered debate questions live online after CNN said he didn’t qualify to participate in the first debate of the 2024 election season and secured U.S. Secret Service protection he hadn’t previously been granted after the Trump rally shooting.

 Here’s a look at the campaign events scheduled for Friday, July 26.


Trump vs. Harris vs. RFK Jr.: How their policies compare

Trump headlines Turning Point Action summit

The Republican nominee is expected to travel Friday to West Palm Beach, Florida, for the faith-based The Believers Summit hosted by the conservative nonprofit Turning Point Action. He’ll join other speakers including former U.S. Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Ben Carson and Turning Point Action founder Charlie Kirk.

RFK Jr. speaks at Bitcoin conference

Kennedy will deliver a keynote speech Friday at the Bitcoin 2024 conference in Nashville, Tennessee. The event offers educational sessions about cryptocurrency and finances.

Other speakers include entrepreneur and former presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, former U.S. Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, R-Hawaii, and former National Security Agency (NSA) contractor Edward Snowden.

Trump is also scheduled to deliver a keynote speech at the conference Saturday.

JD Vance in Missouri

Trump’s running mate and Ohio Sen. JD Vance attended a Sinclair County Republican Party fundraiser breakfast Friday in St. Louis, Missouri.

Sen. Eric Schmitt, R-Mo., also attended the event, where reception tickets sold for $3,000 per person.
