Donald Trump is Coming Back to Roanoke ... Where He Slammed a Local Business in July

ROANOKE, VA — Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump is returning to Roanoke on Saturday after visiting in July, and for at least one hotel there, he'll be persona non grata.

Trump slammed Hotel Roanoke and Conference Center during a rally there in late July after he said that his event wasn't getting proper air conditioning. He even threatened not to pay his bill, prompting the hotel to fire back, saying it had done all it could.

Trump won't have to worry about tangling with them this time around, as he'll be speaking at the Berglund Center at 6 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 24. Doors open at 3 p.m.

Trump is currently in Toledo, Ohio, and will head to Chester Township, Pa., on Thursday before heading out to Roanoke.

During his July rally in the southwest Virginia town, Trump ripped on vice presidential nominee Tim Kaine, Virginia's former governor, calling him a "weird little dude" and a political "hack."

Virginia, which has 13 electoral votes, could be a key battleground state in the race for the White House. As the nationwide race has narrowed, Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton has seen her lead shrink in Virginia to a near tie in most polls.
