Donald Trump has scheduled a campaign rally in Cincinnati on Oct. 13 – the day after early voting starts in Ohio.

The rally will be at the U.S. Bank Arena at 7:30 p.m. according to Trump's campaign website.

Those who want to attend can get tickets online at www.donaldjtrump.com/schedule. Doors open at 4:30 p.m.

The rally will be the first by the Republican presidential candidate in Cincinnati proper. He held rallies in West Chester in March and Sharonville in July. He last visited Cincinnati to speak to an American Legion convention on Sept. 1.

Ohio remains in play for both Trump and his Democratic foe, Hillary Clinton. As of Wednesday afternoon, Trump is beating Clinton by 2 points in the Real Clear Politics head-to-head polling average. Polls taken in the last month show Trump up by between 1-5 points, although a Monmouth poll released Wednesday showed Clinton up by 2 points.

No Republican has ever won the White House without winning Ohio.

3 reasons the presidential race is close in Ohio

The Enquirer has reached out to the Trump campaign in Ohio for additional details and comment.

The Clinton campaign responded to news of the visit with a quote from Cincinnati councilman P.G. Sittenfeld, a Democrat: "For Donald Trump, it’s always Trump first and everyone else last. This selfish message is not welcome in Cincinnati. It seems that nearly every day we learn another reason why he is unfit to be president."
