President Trump
Donald John TrumpTrump: New York won't receive COVID-19 vaccine immediately Biden considering Yellen as possible Treasury secretary: report Trump puts Giuliani in charge of election lawsuits: report MORE will hold a rally in West Virginia next week, where he'll seek to fire up supporters even as his administration struggles to advance its agenda.
The campaign-style event will take place on Aug. 3 at a 9,000-seat arena in Huntington, the second-largest city in a state Trump won big in the 2016 presidential election.
Trump has already held a number of campaign rallies since he was inaugurated six months ago, unusual for a president this early in his first term.
He'll be seeking to generate momentum for his stalled agenda and goodwill among his supporters after the Senate dealt him a stinging defeat Thursday night on healthcare.

Trump vented his frustration on Twitter early Friday morning.
"3 Republicans and 48 Democrats let the American people down. As I said from the beginning, let ObamaCare implode, then deal. Watch!" he tweeted.
Trump's staff meanwhile appears divided by infighting, primarily between White House chief of staff Reince Priebus and newly appointed communications director Anthony Scaramucci.
And Trump's administration is still struggling under the weight of the Russia investigation, which has ensnared his son-in-law and senior adviser, Jared Kushner, and eldest son, Donald Trump Jr.
Trump was last in West Virginia on Monday, when he spoke to a gathering of Boy Scouts. He held a campaign rally last week in Youngstown, Ohio.
