Mike Pence will headline a rally about 60 miles south of UF on Saturday.
The Republican vice presidential candidate will speak at the Savannah Center, located at 1575 Buena Vista Blvd., in The Villages, Florida, according to a Donald Trump campaign email. The event starts at 3 p.m., and doors open at 1 p.m.
No posters, banners or signs may be brought into the event, according to the email. There is no dress code, and an ID is not required for entry.
No professional cameras with detachable lenses are permitted, according to the email. No tripods, monopods, selfie sticks or GoPros are allowed.
Christian Sutton, a UF preprofessional pharmacy sophomore, said he plans on making the one-hour drive to see Pence.
The 19-year-old went to a Trump rally in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, over the summer and said being near the Republican presidential candidate was breathtaking.
He said he wants to support Trump in any way he can, which includes supporting the candidate’s vice president.
Pence is a solid running mate choice for Trump, Sutton said, and he said he hopes other UF students attend the rally to learn more about the two.
“I just think people should go just to see what the other side says,” he said. “You should be knowledgeable when you go out and vote.”
Up to two tickets can be reserved per person at donaldjtrump.com.
