Michelle Obama joins Clinton at North Carolina rally

Since the start of October, Obama has been campaigning at least once and as many as three times each week for Clinton.

The audience roared as the two women walked onstage, turned to each other and embraced, the first lady towering over the shorter candidate.

Sadly, however, it won’t be happening – at least, that’s according to her husband, President Barack Obama. It’s their first joint event of the 2016 campaign.

But the tensions of 2008 have long evaporated.

LISA DESJARDINS: Similarly, on her campaign plane last night, Clinton was asked if she would meet with Trump after it’s over.

It’s no surprise, then, that Mrs. Clinton continues tying herself to the Obamas and has made continuing numerous president’s policies a central component of her own campaign.

That’s partly because Michelle Obama has largely been above the fray of partisan politics during the past eight years, choosing to focus on relatively non-controversial causes like nutrition, military families and the rights of young girls around the globe. Some of her mastery rubbed off on Mrs Clinton, who by her own admission is not a gifted speaker on stage, but was at her warmest ever sharing the stage with Flotus.

Holder’s new group this year shared detailed maps with the White House outlining areas where Obama could boost Democratic candidates up and down the ballot, said former Rep. Mark Schauer, D-Mich., the group’s senior adviser.

The popular first lady delivered an electrifying speech at the Democratic National Convention over the summer.

A crowd of 11,000 attended the event at Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Coliseum and cheered both Clinton and Obama.

On Thursday, Obama made clear that any tension from the past was fully behind her.

“I think Michelle Obama may end up being perhaps one of the most influential first ladies when it comes to influence on the American public, whereas Hillary has been one of the most important in terms of achievement in terms of policy”. The GOP presidential hopeful has been brash, unapologetic and aggressive – at times downright belligerent – in his attacks on rival #Hillary Clinton, Obama, the media, females. just about anyone who speaks out against his rampant xenophobia and profound inexperience for the highest office in the land.

“And yes, she happens to be a woman!” “Someone who we can trust with the nuclear codes”, Obama said. And they’re higher than those of the two possible candidates to succeed her in the East Wing: Bill Clinton (49%) and Melania Trump (38%).

Now she also planted an fantastic vegetable garden at the White House.

The president is planning a sort of “tour de swing state”.

The campaign has not released additional details.

Many Democrats have expressed an eagerness for the first lady to utilize her powerful speaking skills and wealth of popularity to make a bid for office herself. Hillary Clinton’s approval ratings are historically low.

A new Associated Press-GfK poll released Wednesday found Clinton on the cusp of a potentially commanding victory, fueled by solid Democratic turnout in early voting, massive operational advantages and increasing enthusiasm among her supporters.

Comey’s actions Friday have roiled the White House race, energizing Trump as polls had showed him sliding and unnerving Democrats anxious about the presidency and down-ballot congressional races.
