The campaign noted that this will be Trump's third rally in Missouri and the first campaign rally in Springfield since he first began his race for president in June 2015.

Minutes after the news broke, Missouri State University tweeted that the event is a campaign rally for Missouri Attorney General Josh Hawley, who is running for the U.S. Senate seat currently held by Claire McCaskill, a Democrat.

"We realize this will delight some members of our community and offend others," the university wrote in an online statement. "The university encourages everyone to be respectful regardless of their views."

On Friday, U.S. Rep. Billy Long welcomed the news.

“It’ll be great to have @POTUS @realDonaldTrump back in southwest Missouri!” Long said on Twitter.

Trump made a presidential visit to Springfield on Aug. 30, 2017 to stump for his signature tax reform bill.
