Michelle Obama preparing to campaign for Clinton
When asked by Jeff Zeleny about Hillary Clinton’s trust issues, Biden didn’t defer an answer or sweep the negative statistics under a rug.
Biden also described Kaine as a strong friend of organized labor, saying “no one has to tell Tim who built this country”.
Mrs. Obama’s task will be to urge all voters, but especially young people, in hotly contested Virginia to support Clinton and running mate Tim Kaine in the November 8 election. I’m sick of it.
“You’re supposed to say, ‘yes!’ ” Clinton quipped, before talking about Labor Day and the next few weeks of the campaign.
“We win Pennsylvania, we win this election”, Biden said. “Jen has convinced me I need to”, Clinton said in jest, a reference to her spokeswoman, Jennifer Palmieri, who was standing close by. “This is an election where, admittedly, there’s not a lot of overwhelming enthusiasm for either candidate right now – although there’s considerably more for Hillary – and I think people are putting off their decision”.
In her introduction, titled Love and Kindness-And Action, Clinton tells the story of her upbringing, the lessons she learned from her mother’s hard childhood, and her work as an advocate for children.
“We haven’t been sitting in a penthouse looking out at the world. Small business is the backbone of the American economy”, he said.
The 14-year-old Boeing 737 has more than 40 seats for the press, in addition to a cabin for Clinton and her aides, one for the Secret Service and another for additional campaign staff, The Hill reported.
Rick Galiano, with United Steelworkers, is confident that the Clinton-Kaine ticket will get the job done.
Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers, and Rick Bloomingdale, president of the Pennsylvania AFL-CIO, began the speeches at 9 a.m. Monday at the intersection of Liberty Avenue and 11th Street.
Georgia is a GOP-leaning state but polls suggest Republican nominee Donald Trump’s struggles among college-educated whites, particularly in the Atlanta suburbs, could make the state competitive for Clinton. Trump also travels apart from reporters, although he invited some onboard Monday for a gaggle and short flight, and said he may do so again.
