LIVE FEED: Trump, Pence speak at northern Indiana rally

President Trump looks on after signing an executive order on "Supporting our Veterans during their Transition from Uniformed Service to Civilian Life" on Jan. 9. Trump and Vice President Mike Pence will appear at a rally Thursday night in Elkhart, Indiana. 

President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence are speaking live tonight at North Side Middle School in Elkhart, Indiana.

The planned rally comes just two days after Indiana's Congressional primaries, with Trump and Pence in town to elicit support for Republican Indiana Senate challenger Mike Braun.
