CLEVELAND, Ohio — Former President Donald Trump is scheduled to hold his first major rally since current President Joe Biden took office in January in Ohio next week, according to media reports.

The rally event is scheduled for June 26 at the Lorain County Fairgrounds in Wellington, Ohio  and is designed for Trump to energize his Republican base and other supporters, sources said Tuesday.

The city of Wellington is some 35 miles southwest of Cleveland, where last year's first presidential debate was held.

The "Save America Rally," as the former president would call it, begins at 7 pm and doors at the fairgrounds will open at 2 pm.

Though the former president has spoken at events such as the Conservative Political Action Conference and the North Carolina Republican Convention, he has not been highly visible since  Biden, a Democrat and former vice president who served with former president Barack Obama, moved into the White House following last year's contentious election.

He was banned from social media forums like Twitter and Facebook after the Jan 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol that left five people dead, including a Capitol police officer.

A subsequent impeachment process in response to the insurrection that he has been accused of inciting failed in the U.S. Senate.

Cleveland and the county it sits in, Cuyahoga County, are Democratic strongholds.

Trump won Ohio in 2016 when he beat then Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton to win the presidency, and he won the state again last year when he lost the presidency to Biden.
