Billed as a Thank You tour!

President-elect Donald Trump will be embarking on a “victory tour” to the states he carried, a campaign aide told reporters Thursday.

“We’re working on a victory tour now; it will happen in the next couple of weeks,” said George Gigicos, the campaign’s advance team director, who briefly talked about Trump’s first trip, according to pool reports.

The tour will bring Trump “obviously to the states that we won and the swing states we flipped over,” Gigicos said.

Trump carried 30 states. Campaign aides had previously indicated that Trump, who fed off the energy of large crowds during the campaign, was hoping to continue holding similar rallies during the transition and possibly beyond.
