Donald Trump, the real estate billionaire-turned-GOP frontrunner, plans to make a campaign stop in Oklahoma City Friday, speaking to supporters and others at the Oklahoma State Fair.
The Oklahoma Republican Party says Trump will speak at 5:30 p.m. at the Bandshell Stage on the State Fairgrounds. There's no cost to see the outspoken candidate other than the regular admission to the state fair.
Estella Fernandez, the interim chair of the Oklahoma Republican Party, said the party plans to share all future presidential candidate visits to Oklahoma, according to NewsOK:
Trump was not among the nearly dozen Republican presidential hopefuls who converged on Oklahoma City for the Southern Republican Leadership Conference in May and wanted to make sure he visited Oklahoma, Hernandez said. "He's taking time to visit with voters here and Oklahoma City is a welcoming place for him to speak," Hernandez said.
It'll be Trump's first visit to Oklahoma during his 2016 presidential campaign.
