President Donald Trump is expected to campaign in South Florida on Tuesday, according to various new reports.

Trump’s visit to Jupiter, which was first reported by the Palm Beach Post, will be about “continued conservation and environmental protection efforts in the region,” a White House official told the newspaper.

Trump will also be visiting another battleground state: Winston-Salem, North Carolina, reported the South Florida Sun Sentinel.

According to CBS10 in Tampa, “the upcoming 2021 budget, which is not yet approved by Congress, proposes $250 million in annual funding to construct new infrastructure as part of the South Florida Ecosystem Restoration Task Force.”
