Donald Trump is in Cleveland in advance of accepting the Republican nomination for president.
Trump's plane landed at an airstrip near Lake Erie and then the celebrity businessman took his helicopter to a landing field at the Great Lakes Science Center a short distance from the convention site. His wife, Melania Trump, was not with him.
Some members of Trump's family, his running mate, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, and some supporters were on hand to greet him. Amid swelling music, Trump and Pence thanked their supporters.
Trump was at the convention Monday to introduce his wife Melania but then returned to New York.
He is slated to address the convention Thursday night and may appear with Pence during the vice presidential nominee's speech Wednesday night.
Meanwhile, Ted Cruz was ruminating to a in Cleveland about "what the future is going to hold" for his presidential ambitions when Trump's personal jet appeared in the sky over head to remind him whose party he was attending.
Cruz, who finished second to Trump in the GOP contest, chuckled, "That was pretty well orchestrated."
He spoke Wednesday to hundreds of supporters who chanted, "2020, 2020, 2020," ahead of his speech to the Republican National Convention.
He left wide open a return to the presidential campaign trail in the future. The Texas senator is not expected to endorse Trump during his address to the convention.
