The president's motorcade could cause some traffic problems Friday afternoon and evening.

(Lebanon, Oh.) - President Donald Trump is coming to the tri-state Friday.

The president is scheduled to headline a campaign rally for Ohio U.S. Senate candidate Jim Renacci at the Warren County Fairgrounds in Lebanon. Renacci is in a tight election battle against current Democratic Senator Sherrod Brown.

Organizers say the fairgrounds parking lot will open at 2:00 p.m., with the gates opening at 4:00 p.m.

The president is expected to take the stage at 7:00 p.m.

"The President looks forward to joining with Ohioans to celebrate the booming Trump economy that has fueled the lowest unemployment levels in nearly 50 years. President Trump will also urge Ohioans to get out and vote on November 6th to protect and expand the Republican majorities in the House and Senate, including voting for Jim Renacci in his race against Sherrod Brown," said Michael Glassner, Chief Operating Officer for Donald J. Trump for President, Inc.

Motorists can probably expect to encounter some highway closures for the president’s motorcade as he makes his way from Lunken Airport in Cincinnati Friday afternoon and evening.
