President Donald Trump will stop in southern Minnesota on Monday to deliver a campaign speech in Mankato.

Trump’s campaign announced Friday that the Republican incumbent will appear at the local airport for a 2 p.m. speech on jobs and the economy. He intends to use it to draw a contrast with his opponent, Joe Biden, as the Democratic National Convention kicks off.

Trump is also planning stops early in the week in Wisconsin and Arizona.

Trump narrowly lost Minnesota in 2016 to Democrat Hillary Clinton, but he’s made the state a focus of his reelection campaign.

The buildup of Trump’s campaign in the state since last year will pay dividends, said Jennifer Carnahan, chair of the Minnesota Republican Party.

“The work we’ve been doing in registering voters, turning out the vote, talking to people about the issues, building up our volunteer apparatus in every corner of Minnesota, opening offices,” she said. “We’re so energized and excited about what’s to come.”

Trump’s team has reserved millions of dollars in fall TV ad time in Minnesota. Biden’s campaign also intends to invest in the state, which Democrats have carried in every White House race since 1976.
