President Trump will head to Ohio on Monday for a visit just days after his first State of the Union address, according to a White House official.
The purpose for the visit to the battleground state has not yet been announced, but the trip comes after the president previewed a $1.5 trillion infrastructure plan in his State of the Union address earlier this week.
A White House official confirmed plans for the trip to The Hill. An official announcement is expected later Thursday.
Trump made rebuilding the nation’s roads and bridges a central theme of his address to Congress and the nation Tuesday night.

“As we rebuild our industries, it is also time to rebuild our crumbling infrastructure,” the president said.
“I am asking both parties to come together to give us safe, fast, reliable and modern infrastructure that our economy needs and our people deserve,” he added. “Tonight, I am calling on the Congress to produce a bill that generates at least $1.5 trillion for the new infrastructure investment we need.”
On Thursday, the president was in West Virginia, where he spoke to Republican lawmakers attending a GOP retreat at The Greenbrier resort.
