President Trump said Thursday that he’ll hold a campaign rally to support state Rep. Rick Saccone’s (R-Pa.) special House election bid.
 
Trump made the announcement as he swung through the district for an event billed by the White House as an official event meant to highlight the GOP tax reform package. 

The president made the declaration while praising Saccone during a visit to Coraopolis, a town outside of Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania’s 18th congressional district.
 
Saccone will face off against Democrat Conor Lamb in a March special election to represent that district. While the district backed Trump in last year’s presidential race, the GOP is eager to prevent Lamb from pulling off an upset win and adding to Democratic momentum ahead of the midterms.
