Obama to return to Florida to help Clinton get out the vote
If you have hopes that Michelle Obama will follow in her husband’s footsteps into the presidency, then you definitely want to hear what President Obama has to say about the sitch.
Heading into the 2016 campaign, a case could be made that Bill Clinton would be the most powerful surrogate in the race. “This seemed to be the flawless audience for the Hillary song, for the ‘Fight For Us” song. “That is what’s possible here in America, but only – only – when we come together”.
At a rally in Winston-Salem on Thursday, Hillary Clinton and First Lady Michelle Obama laid out the stakes in this election and urged Americans to preserve the progress of the last eight years on November 8th. In recent months, Obama has taken on a more active role on the campaign trail.
President Obama emphatically said in an interview that aired Friday that his wife will never run for elected office.
“Make no mistake about it, casting our vote is the ultimate way we go high when they go low”, she said.
Some even wondered whether politics may be in Obama’s future. But if she did, Brinson added, he would enthusiastically support her.
“The dozens and hundreds of things he has said over the course of the past year I think really speaks to who he is and really speaks to his character”, said Milloy.
Legacy was indeed on Obama’s mind on Thursday. Clinton has basked in the results of new polls showing her with an impressive lead with just 12 days to go. “I can tell you she is taken seriously by an very bad lot of Democrats”, he notes.
The RealClearPolitics poll average still puts Clinton ahead in the Sunshine State by 1.6 percentage points, but she wants to lock it in. Someone who is steady. “You want somebody who works hard and is actually gonna do the job”. “This has got to stop right now”. “Leave here and go vote!” Khan’s family is supporting Clinton and has harshly criticized Trump’s calls for temporarily banning Muslims from the United States.
She also tagged his campaign message of a “rigged” election as a craftily orchestrated attempt at voter suppression.
Over the course of the primary and general elections, Clinton’s campaign has hauled in $513 million, roughly double what Trump’s has.
On her part, Clinton listed a string of personal and professional qualities which she admires in Obama.
Pressed on whether he’ll open his own wallet to match an onslaught of Clinton ads, Trump said he will have spent $100 million of his own money by Election Day, a sum which would imply him digging much deeper than he has so far.
Clinton praised Obama for advocating for the education of girls around the world and for advocating for improved nutrition for kids.
Although a sometimes reluctant campaigner, the first lady has thrown herself into the race, and the Clinton campaign has deployed her strategically to increase support among young people and blacks, with whom she is especially popular.
While what Band did was not illegal, it simply looked bad for the Clinton campaign, which has denied allegations that big donors to the foundation got special access to Hillary Clinton when she was secretary of state.
“She has worked for healthier childhoods for our kids here at home”.
She built a vegetable garden at the White House to demonstrate the importance of eating fresh produce.
