On his second campaign visit to the Twin Cities in three weeks, John McCain plans to visit his regional headquarters in St. Paul this afternoon.

The presumptive Republican presidential nominee was scheduled to meet with supporters at the office in the Midway area. His visit is not open to the public.

His campaign scheduled no other public events today.

After spending the night in the metro area, McCain will conduct a town-hall meeting Friday morning at a contracting company in Hudson, Wis. That meeting will focus on women and the economy.

That event with the Arizona senator is by invitation only.
