COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – Republican vice presidential candidate, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, will be back in Colorado again Wednesday evening for another campaign stop in Colorado Springs.
He and his running mate, Donald Trump, have embarked on a last-minute blitz of classic swing states and other states that have suddenly become toss-ups ahead of the polarizing Nov. 8 General Election.
Pence will make three stops in Ohio Tuesday before heading to Reno, Nevada, Salt Lake City and Colorado Springs Wednesday.
His event in Springs will be held at 7 p.m. at the Colorado Springs Event Center. Tickets are available here.
Trump is campaigning in Florida Tuesday before he heads to Washington, D.C. Wednesday to officially open his new Trump International Hotel. He’ll then fly to North Carolina for a Wednesday evening rally in Kinston before spending Thursday campaigning in Ohio.
But Trump tweeted Tuesday afternoon that he will "see [Colorado] soon," though no official trips to Colorado are listed on his campaign website.

The Trump campaign has campaigned extensively in Colorado in the past two months as it continues to believe it has a chance to win the state, which is a classic “purple state” that votes Democrat and Republican fairly equally.
But the most recent polls show states that are usually Republican strongholds, like Nevada, Utah and Ohio, are slipping from Trump’s grip in the final weeks of the election.
