Video: Donald Trump's Speech at Cleveland Charter School
Trump will be in Ohio again this week for a meeting at an East Side Charter school and two fundraisers.

CLEVELAND, OH — A recent update to the schedule on donaldjtrump.com has revealed that Donald Trump plans to visit a charter school in Cleveland this Thursday. The event is scheduled for 2 p.m. at the Cleveland Arts and Social Sciences Academy located at 10701 Shaker Boulevard in the Woodland Hills neighborhood on Cleveland's East Side. The Woodland Hills neighborhood is made up of of mostly African-American residents — a demographic that Trump is trying to win favor with.
The event is not open to the public, but it is open to members of the media. The event can be viewed via the live stream feed below beginning at 2 p.m.
Trump has been an advocate for charter schools, which have been championed in Ohio by Republican political leaders including Gov. John Kasich. However, don't expect to find Kasich at today's Trump event; Kasich has distanced himself from Trump and did not attend the Republican National Convention in Cleveland.

Trump has been focusing on Ohio recently. He was in Brook Park on Monday where Mayor Tom Coyne, a Democrat, endorsed him at an American Legion hall meeting with organized-labor representatives.
A recent Ohio poll shows that Trump and Clinton are virtually tied in Ohio at 43 percent, while Libertarian Gary Johnson has 10 percent and Green Party candidate Jill Stein took 2 percent. Ohio carries 18 electoral votes and is traditionally a reliable indicator of who will win the election.
