Former U.S. President and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump speaks on the stage at a South Dakota Republican party rally in Rapid City, South Dakota, U.S. September 8, 2023.
The prime time speech is expected to be delivered to auto workers and other blue collar union members, the aide added.
The United Auto Workers union began a strike last week against the three biggest U.S. auto manufacturers over pay and other benefits, a labor dispute that could pose significant political danger for Biden.
Trump is seeking to exploit the dispute, and will try to persuade auto workers and other union members that he will be on their side if he becomes president again.
Trump skipped the first Republican presidential debate in Wisconsin last month.
