Live Stream: President Donald Trump Talks Infrastructure In Ohio

Watch live as the 45th President of the United States gives a speech in Richfield about his infrastructure plan.

RICHFIELD, OH — President Donald Trump will give a speech Thursday afternoon in Richfield, Ohio, discussing his infrastructure plan. This will be the president's first public appearance since the controversial Stormy Daniels interview on CBS.

Trump's speech is expected to begin around 2 p.m. EDT. He's expected to discuss a promise he made during his campaign to restore, improve and replace parts of America's crumbling infrastructure.

Trump will likely discuss using about $200 billion in federal money to spur work on highways, bridges, ports and other infrastructure. The President is hoping federal investment will serve as a catalyst to further investment, to the tune of about $1.5 trillion in spending over a decade, Fox 8 reports.

This will be Trump's second visit to the Bellwether state in as many months. He was in the Cincinnati-area in early February touting the GOP's tax overhaul legislation.

The speech comes on the heels of a highly rated "60 Minutes" segment that saw Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, tell Anderson Cooper in an interview on Sunday night that a stranger approached her in 2011 and threatened her and her daughter after Daniels sold her story of sexual encounters with the President to InTouch magazine for $15,000.

Meanwhile, state Democrats are assuming Trump will spend at least part of his speech stumping for Rep. Jim Renacci, Strongsville, who is being groomed to run against Democratic Senator Sherrod Brown in November. Renacci has been a vocal defender and proponent of the President.
