Take a look at Trump's planned stops and the planned protests in the map below.
ARIZONA STOPS
Air Force One will make its first Arizona stop in Yuma on Tuesday.
Trump will visit a Marine Corps base along the U.S.-Mexico border before flying to Phoenix for his 7 p.m. rally at the Phoenix Convention Center.
The president will spend the night in the Valley before heading to Reno, Nevada, on Wednesday where he will deliver a speech to the American Legion.
PHOENIX RALLY
Doors at the Phoenix Convention Center open at 4 p.m. and Trump is expected to speak at the rally at 7 p.m. The full lineup of speakers had not been announced as of Monday night, though a source did confirm Vice President Mike Pence would also be in attendance.
A pardon for former MCSO Sheriff Joe Arpaio may be announced during the rally, as Trump is 'seriously considering' it. However, when reached Monday Arpaio said he had not been invited by the campaign and planned to watch the rally from home.
The Phoenix Convention Center has released a list of items that are prohibited from the rally, which can be seen here.
