Donald Trump addresses thousands of supporters at a rally in Orlando in March.

Donald Trump will make campaign stops in Ocala and Lakeland today (WED) as part of a multi-city tour across the state. The republican presidential candidate is expected to deliver a strong anti-Hillary Clinton message to sway the region’s undecided voters.

The rallies follow a presidential debate during which Trump was asked to explain controversial comments he made about women caught on tape. Protests are planned at the Lakeland rally in response to those comments.

Campaign staff also plan to collect donations for residents hit hard by Hurricane Matthew.

This will be the republican’s second central Florida visit in the past month.
