TAMPA, Fla. — The Republican National Committee is hosting a training event for volunteers in Tampa Thursday.

The event, dubbed the "Protect the Vote Tour," is being held at the Egypt Shiners Building at 5017 E. Washington Street.

The tour is part of an effort to recruit 100,000 poll workers and poll watchers, according to RNC officials. 

Headlining the event will be RNC Chairman Michael Whatley, RNC Co-Chair Lara Trump, former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi and other state leaders.

The RNC says it is hosting the training to energize volunteers and explain how important their work is in ensuring a fair, accurate and transparent election.

As the RNC works to organize volunteers, former President Donald Trump is traveling the country rallying voters from the stump.

In North Carolina yesterday, he attacked Vice President Kamala Harris’s record, his presumptive opponent in the general election after President Biden announced he was dropping out of the race.

"Kamala Harris has been the ultra liberal driving force behind every single Biden catastrophe,” Trump said.  “She is a radical left lunatic who will destroy our country. If she ever gets the chance to get into office, we're not going to let that happen."

Today’s RNC training event is set to begin at 2 p.m.
