Watch Live Streams: Donald Trump Rallies in Miami, Orlando and Pensacola, Florida

Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump is making three stops in the Sunshine State Wednesday.

MIAMI, FL — Just one day after Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton made a trio of appearances in Florida, Republican Donald Trump is set to do the same. The New York businessman has a Wednesday schedule that will put him on stage in Miami, Orlando and Pensacola before the day is out.

Trump is looking to capitalize on recent upticks in polling numbers in Florida and nationally. Clinton, once the likely winner of Florida’s 29 electoral votes, has taken a big hit in statewide polling since FBI Director James Comey announced on Oct. 28 that his agency had uncovered new emails related to its investigation of Clinton’s private email server.

Comey’s vague letter to Congressional leaders has been the subject of heavy criticism since news of its existence hit. The bombshell was dropped just 11 days before the Nov. 8 presidential election.

Clinton’s campaign has also been on the defensive as WikiLeaks continues to dump emails allegedly written by or sent to Clinton campaign staffers. Among the revelations to come out of the WikiLeaks dumps is a $12 million donation from Morocco’s King Mohammed VI to the Clinton Foundation. The Clinton campaign has denounced the WikiLeaks email release, saying the hack represents an effort by the Russian government to influence the American election.

Trump has also been bombarded with scandals over the past few weeks. His numbers in national polls dropped sharply following the three presidential debates and the release of a video that showed him making lewd comments about women. Although the video was about a decade old, the New York businessman has also been fending off allegations from women who say he touched them inappropriately.

Most recently, information surfaced that the FBI was looking at a possible financial connection between Trump and Russia. News broke Monday night, however, that no clear link has been found, according to the New York Times.

As controversy surrounds the Clinton campaign, the Democrat has taken a hit in national and Florida polling. On Friday, she led Republican challenger Donald Trump by 4.6 percentage points in national polls, according to RealClear Politics. By Wednesday, her lead had dropped to 1.7 percentage points.

Clinton once held a strong lead in the critical battleground state of Florida. As of Wednesday, RealClear Politics had Trump up by one percentage point.
