Donald Trump will be campaigning in Oregon on Friday and also appears headed to Vancouver, Washington on Saturday.
Sources close to the Trump campaign say he will be in Lane County on Friday.
At the same time, the billionaire businessman’s Washington director, state Sen. Don Benton, says he is “pushing hard” to arrange a Vancouver rally for Trump. It would be part of a Saturday swing through the Evergreen state.
Oregon’s primary is on May 17th and Washington Republicans will hold a primary one week later. And a visit to the Vancouver area would attract free media attention to his candidacy in both states.
This will be Trump’s first visit to Oregon or Washington this year.
A poll of Oregon Republicans released last week showing Trump with a 17-point lead.
