TULSA, Okla. (AP) – Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is set to make a campaign stop at Tulsa’s Oral Roberts University with former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin

Trump is scheduled to speak at noon Wednesday at ORU’s Mabee Center arena following a morning event in Norwalk, Iowa.

Palin endorsed Trump on Tuesday and is scheduled to join him at both campaign stops on Wednesday.

It will be Trump’s first public visit to Oklahoma since he spoke to a crowd of more than 5,000 people in September at the state fair in Oklahoma City.

U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas drew about 2,000 people to the Mabee Center last month when he wrapped up a tour through several Southern states with stops in Tulsa and Oklahoma City.

Oklahoma’s presidential primary election is March 1.
