Donald Trump to campaign in Colorado Springs, Grand Junction on Tuesday

Donald Trump is planning a return trip to Colorado next Tuesday — just in time for the beginning of mail-in ballot season.

The upcoming visit to Colorado Springs and Grand Junction on Oct. 18 comes a day after Colorado’s Secretary of State will start sending ballots to state residents.

It also comes at a tenuous time for the Republican nominee. His campaign has faced a barrage of criticism since a 2005 tape surfaced last week that showed Trump making lewd and disparaging comments about women.

Immediately afterward, two of Colorado’s five congressional Republicans disavowed Trump: U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner and U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman. But he still enjoys support from U.S. Reps. Scott Tipton, Doug Lamborn and Ken Buck.
