President Obama will campaign for Hillary Clinton in New Hampshire on the eve of Election Day
It's the president's first time on the campaign trail in the state since 2012.
President Barack Obama will visit New Hampshire on Monday for a last-minute rally for Hillary Clinton, the Democratic nominee’s campaign announced Wednesday.
The rally is being billed as a “Get Out the Vote” event and is open to the public. Individuals interested in attending can RSVP here. According to the Clinton campaign, the exact time and location of the Monday afternoon rally will be announced soon.
It will be the first time Obama has campaigned in New Hampshire since his own 2012 campaign, during which he and former President Bill Clinton appeared outside the capitol in Concord and reportedly drew the largest crowd for a political rally in the history of the state.
Republican nominee Donald Trump, who has visited New Hampshire nine times since winning the GOP nomination, is also scheduled to visit the state this week. According to his campaign website, the Republican candidate will appear at an Atkinson rally on Friday at noon and a Monday night rally in Manchester.
Clinton herself made her third in-person New Hampshire visit since clinching the nomination in a campaign rally last week with Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren.
First Lady Michelle Obama visited New Hampshire last month, addressing a crowd of Clinton supporters in a speech that went viral.
Recent polls show Clinton leading Trump in the Granite State by an average of about 5 percentage points. As of Wednesday afternoon, polling aggregator FiveThirtyEight said Clinton holds a 72 percent chance of winning the state’s four electoral votes.
