Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump will visit Mississippi Monday, just before the state primaries open Tuesday.

Trump, who won 319 delates and seven states in in the Super Tuesday primary, will hold a rally at 7 p.m. at Madison Central High School. Doors will open at 4 p.m.

Trump was last in Mississippi Jan. 2 when he visited Biloxi for a rally. Other Republican candidates such as Marco Rubio and John Kasich have visited the state in search of supporters as well. Rubio was in Jackson Tuesday. Neither Hillary Clinton nor Bernie Sanders have visited the Magnolia state, which has chosen Republican candidates every year since 1976.

Mississippi’s six electoral votes will be up for grabs when polls open 7 a.m. Tuesday.
