After a dramatic revelation by the FBI on Friday that it would reopen its review of Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton’s emails from her days as secretary of state, the Democratic Party is striking back by scheduling President Barack Obama to campaign on Clinton’s behalf.
Obama’s three-state swing begins Tuesday in Ohio, continues Wednesday in North Carolina and concludes Thursday in Florida.
All three states are considered toss-ups. Although Clinton has been leading North Carolina in most polls, Trump led in one of the five most recent polls of the state. The most recent polling from Ohio and Florida shows Trump with slim leads in those states.
