President Obama to Campaign Nearly Every Day in Final Week
The president will campaign for Hillary Clinton and Democrats down the ticket.
— -- President Obama is picking up the campaign pace in the final week of the general election.
The president will spend almost every day on the campaign trail in the final week, a White House aide said. Obama will not only campaign for Hillary Clinton, but will also ramp up his efforts to boost Democrats in down-ballot races through additional travel, robocalls, radio spots and endorsements.
Part of the president's target audience: millennials. He will court the millennial vote through late-night shows and online outlets. He’s scheduled to appear Monday on “Full Frontal With Samantha Bee.”
The aide said the president plans to focus on positive messaging, making his case for Clinton and looking forward to uniting the country after the divisive election.
But he'll also continue to speak out against Donald Trump's claims that the election is rigged.
The president returns to Florida Friday where he has not only tried to bolster Clinton, but also seemed all too eager to take aim at Republican Sen. Marco Rubio, who is being challenged by Democratic Rep. Patrick Murphy.
