Watch: Live Stream Of Donald Trump's Austin, Texas, Rally

AUSTIN, TX — Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump is scheduled to stage a rally in the Texas capital Tuesday afternoon, designed to promote his ideas on immigration.

As part of his Texas trip — his first since becoming his party's nominee, the second since June — Trump will be raising needed campaign cash at a pair of fundraisers. Amid a backdrop of cancelled appearances later this week, Trump has kept his appointment for the Texas campaign two-step.

Trump also plans to tape a segment for Fox News while here, with an interview at downtown's Moody Theater scheduled with television host Sean Hannity. Some 200 protesters critical of his immigration rhetoric have planned a protest outside the venue while dressed as clowns, as Patch previously reported.

Following his fundraising efforts, Trump is scheduled to stage his rally at 7:30 CST, his publicist said. You can watch a live stream of the political rally below:

"Following the second fundraiser, Mr. Trump will be speaking at a rally in Austin to draw additional attention to his call for border security as well as the need for a Special Prosecutor to investigate Hillary Clinton's bought and paid for State Department," his communications adviser, Jason Miller, wrote in a news advisory.

The rally is scheduled to take place at the Expo Center’s Luedecke Arena at 7311 Decker Lane. Although it begins at 7:30 p.m., doors to the venue are scheduled to open as early as 4:30 p.m.

Trump's rhetoric on security along the southern border has polarized the electorate, earning praise from his base but condemnation among immigration advocates. It was this issue that sparked interest in his campaign among his followers and repudiation from others after he categorized Mexican immigrants as "rapists" and "criminals" in launching his campaign 16 months ago.

His other favored target, Democratic political rival Clinton, also will serve as fodder for his rally talk. Trump has found effective political fodder in suggesting malfeasance via the Clinton Foundation charity founded by her husband, former President Bill Clinton. Foreign charitable donations to the charity have come into question ahead of the November election, with Trump and other conservatives inferring, at best, a conflict of interest posed by the foundation.

At worst, Trump claims the Clintons have peddled influence in what he views as a quid pro quo exchange of donations for access to high levels of government. The Clintons have denied the allegations but have vowed to suspend the charity's activities should Hillary Clinton become president to avoid even the appearance of a conflict of interest.

Trump's fundraising efforts in Austin represent a departure from his vows to self-fund his campaign given his considerable wealth. The claim of self-funding to avoid being beholden to outside interests appealed to his base, but Trump has since been making the rounds to raise much-needed campaign cash.

After his Texas trip, he'll head to Florida and Nevada before traveling to Des Moines, Iowa, to attend yet another fundraiser, according to his spokesman.
