President-elect Donald Trump will embark on a “Thank you tour” on Thursday in Cincinnati with further stops announced once venues are booked, transition officials say.

The tour is set to replicate the big arena rallies he held during his campaign, three of Trump’s transition officials told Bloomberg on Tuesday.

Battleground states the new president flipped are possible locations, but this is not spiking the ball, George Gigicos, Trump’s director of advance, told reporters.

“Thank you tour. “It’s not a ‘victory tour.‘” Gigicos said.
