The free public event is scheduled to start at 7 p.m. PDT.

The United for Change rally is intended to celebrate the Asian-American and Pacific Islander community while encouraging greater civic involvement.

Former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, D-Hawaii, is scheduled to attend along with former GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy.

Gabbard, who was the nation's first Samoan-American member of Congress, recently left the Democratic Party and joined the Republican Party.

She has endorsed Trump for president and has been appointed to his presidential transition team if he wins another term in office.

Trump campaigned in Tempe, Ariz., earlier Tuesday to shore up support among voters in that swing state.

Arizona and Nevada are among seven swing states that could decide whether Trump or Vice President Kamala Harris becomes the nation's next president.

The other swing states are Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Georgia, where Harris has a campaign event scheduled Thursday night in Atlanta.
