The presidential election may be over, but Donald Trump is going back on the campaign trail.

The president-elect will travel on Thursday to Cincinnati, Ohio in the first stop on a tour to those states that voted to hand him a shock victory against Hillary Clinton earlier this month.

Originally billed as a "victory" lap, Mr Trump's transition team quickly re-branded the travel a "Thank You Tour 2016".

His staff have yet to provide the full itinerary, but George Gigicos, the director of the campaign's advance team said earlier this month that Mr Trump would be traveling "obviously to the states that we won and the swing states we flipped over".

Mr Trump's decision to begin with Ohio comes after the critical swing state delivered a resounding win on 8th November.

Stops after Cincinnati will be announced once venues are booked, Trump officials said. But his second event is tentatively scheduled for Des Moines, Iowa, another state turned Republican-red.
