The presidential campaigns are also ramping up their efforts in Ohio this week, paying the state's three largest cities plenty of attention. Tomorrow is the last day to register to vote in Ohio, and early voting begins Wednesday.

Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton plans a rally in the Columbus area today. Her campaign says she’ll be encouraging people to register to vote before tomorrow’s deadline. 

On Thursday, Donald Trump plans a rally at U.S. Bank Arena in Cincinnati. 

That same day, President Obama will headline an Ohio Democratic Party fundraiser in the state capital. On Friday, Obama is scheduled to hold a get-out-the-vote rally for Hillary Clinton in the Cleveland area. 

Indiana Gov. and GOP vice presidential candidate Mike Pence just wrapped up a swing through Ohio last Friday.
