Donald Trump is hitting Atlanta the day after Saturday’s South Carolina primary.

The GOP frontrunner will be holding a campaign event on Sunday, Feb. 21, at 4 pm at the Georgia World Congress Center. The event is open to the public, but anyone wanting to attend needs a ticket first, which are available on Trump’s campaign website.

Trump’s appearance comes less than a week after Democrat U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders’ rally at Morehouse College. Earlier this month, former President Bill Clinton was in Atlanta on behalf of the party’s other presidential hopeful, Hillary Clinton.

After the Iowa caucuses and the New Hampshire primary, all of the major presidential candidates are focusing their attention on the South, and Georgia in particular. The important SEC Primary will be held March 1, when seven states -- including Georgia -- will hold their presidential primaries.

Trump continues to invest heavily in Georgia, with new campaign offices in Brunswick, Evans (in middle Georgia) and Valdosta. His Atlanta office opened a few weeks ago.

Another GOP hopeful, U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio, opened his first campaign office in Atlanta on Monday, reports the AJC.
