GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — In a last push to invigorate voters ahead of the midterm elections, Texas Senator Ted Cruz is rallying with Republican congressional candidate John Gibbs in Grand Rapids Wednesday afternoon.

John Gibbs is a Trump-backed candidate for Michigan's 3rd Congressional District. He ousted Republican Congressman Peter Meijer in the primary and faces Democrat Hillary Scholten for the seat on Nov. 8.

The rally, organized by the Truth and Courage PAC, is scheduled to start at 6 p.m. at Noto's in Grand Rapids.
