Conservative radio personality Ray Appleton announced Trump Jr. as the keynote speaker on his KMJ Now show Friday. He said Trump Jr. son of former President Donald Trump will join the event via Zoom due to security issues.
Trump Jr. has reportedly emerged as an unofficial top adviser to his father as the eldest Trump mulls a 2024 presidential bid.
It won t be the first time a member of the Trump family has participated in a Tulare event.
In August 2016, then-candidate Trump held a private lunch and VIP meeting at a Tulare residence. He went on to carry Tulare County by 12 percentage points in 2016 and 8 percentage points in 2020.

Devin Nunes Freedom Fest brought blockbuster crowds to the International Agri-Center on Saturday for a day of prayer and protest.
The Tulare Republican hosted prominent conservatives from across the country for the sold-out event. The prayer element was necessary so that the festival could qualify as a religious gathering, which are exempt from California s coronavirus capacity limits, Nunes said. If you re talking to Newsom, there s only 300 people here, so we re legal unless you re holding a religious ceremony, a winking Nunes said.
More than 1,700 people attended the festival, which was live-streamed on Rumble, an online video platform that conservatives have held up as an alternative to YouTube and Facebook.
