Reports: President Trump coming to Utica Monday

President Donald Trump will be making a stop in Utica Monday to headline a fundraiser for Rep. Claudia Tenney, R-New Hartford, according to several media reports.

The expected visit would come on the same day Trump is scheduled to visit Fort Drum, where he will sign the John McCain National Defense Authorization Act for 2019, which includes funding for a security fence around the Air Force Research Laboratory in Rome, according to a White House official.

The O-D reached out to the White House, but officials would only confirm the Fort Drum visit, not his plans to visit Utica or the reason for the visit.
