It will be Clinton's first trip to Ohio since Labor Day, a gap that has led to speculation that Clinton sees a tougher path to winning Ohio than other states.

The state is also whiter than some other states, such as Florida and North Carolina, that have emerged as major battlegrounds.

No candidate has won the White House without winning Ohio since 1960.

Trump leads Clinton in the RealClearPolitics average of polls by 2 percentage points.

In Ohio, Clinton will argue that Trump's economic plans will hurt workers. 

“She will condemn an in-it-for-yourself approach that celebrates the abuse of workers and consumers as ‘good business,’ ” a Clinton official said, according to The Columbus Dispatch.

She will focus on corporations including Wells Fargo, Mylan Pharmaceuticals and the Trump Organization.

"Clinton will call out companies like Wells Fargo, which took advantage of thousands of customers in an unfair and abusive scheme; Mylan Pharmaceuticals, which hiked up the price of life-saving EpiPens without justification; and the practices of Donald Trump and the Trump Organization," the Clinton official said, according to Politico.

Clinton will also talk about two new proposals that focus on "free and fair competition between corporations and address corporate abuse."

One of the proposals would limit "forced arbitration" clauses in contracts preventing workers and consumers from suing companies.

Another will be “a new commitment to promote competition, address excessive market concentration and the abuse of economic power, and reinvigorate antitrust laws and enforcement.”

The Democratic nominee will discuss how to "take on bad corporate actors" and steps to raise the minimum wage.
