INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — President Donald Trump will be making two trips to Indiana for political rallies in the final days before voters next week decide the state's hotly contested U.S. Senate race.

Trump's campaign says he'll be at Southport High School in Indianapolis on Friday, then at Fort Wayne's Allen County War Memorial Coliseum on Monday. The two Indiana rallies are among nearly a dozen Trump has planned across the country over six days beginning Wednesday.

The campaign says Vice President Mike Pence is scheduled to also attend the Indianapolis rally.

The twin rallies are aimed at boosting Republican Mike Braun in his bid to unseat Democratic Sen. Joe Donnelly.

Braun appeared with Trump at an Aug. 30 rally in Evansville and another in Elkhart days after his victory in May's GOP primary.

Authorities say Indiana Republican U.S. Rep. Victoria Spartz has been charged with bringing a firearm through airport security.

Spartz's office says she was traveling to Europe and mistakenly carried an unloaded handgun in the pocket of her suitcase while going through security at Washington Dulles International Airport. Spartz is a staunch Second Amendment Republican representing central Indiana. She won her primary in May after saying last year that she would retire from congress. The charge carries up to a year in jail and a $2,500 fine if convicted.
