MIAMI (CBSMiami/AP) -- Donald Trump stopped into Florida on Wednesday and thanked staff at one of three recreational vehicles that will be used to drive through the state and register voters ahead of election day.

Trump, the Republican nominee, hopped out of his motorcade in advance of a rally Wednesday in Tampa. He arrived as a thunderstorm did, but was handed an umbrella and walked over, declaring "I have to see my people."

He shook hands with volunteers, including Tony Ledbetter, a Republican official.

He also saluted his campaign's recent outreach to minorities, saying "I think we're doing really great with minority voters." At the rally in Tampa, Trump is expected to discuss how his economic policies would help Hispanics.

Then, as a heavy downpour began, Trump ducked inside the RV to shake more hands.
