The White House says President Trump will campaign at the Whirlpool plant in Clyde on Thursday.

The plant has been linked to a cancer cluster in the area. Trump is expected to tout his administration's support for manufacturing. In 2016 he promised to restore manufacturing jobs in the midwest, but the Associated Press reports that promise hasn't been fulfilled.
