The pair, who went head-to-head in 2008’s divisive Democratic primary and later became political allies when Obama assumed the nomination, will appear together in Charlotte, North Carolina, on Tuesday, July 5. He didn’t attend Clinton’s campaign appearance last week in Raleigh.
The specific location, time and ticket availability has not been released at the is time.
The announcement said Obama and the Democratic presidential candidate “will discuss building on the progress we’ve made and their vision for an America that is stronger together”.
“I’m with her, I am fired up, and I can not wait to get out there and campaign for Hillary”, added Obama, who won a brutal, months-long Democratic primary battle against Clinton in 2008. Obama was the lone Democratic win, when he edged John McCain in the state by just 0.3 percent in 2008. Clinton and her aligned super PACs have already begun dumping millions of advertising into the swing state.
