WASHINGTON—President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama will make their first joint appearance of the midterm election season on Oct. 17 in Columbus, Ohio.
White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said Thursday that Mrs. Obama would join her husband for a fundraiser for Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland. She’ll join the president for a previously announced campaign rally in Columbus.
Less than a month before the Nov. 2 elections, Obama is stumping hard to try to minimize Democratic losses in Congress.
He traveled to Maryland recently to campaign for Gov. Martin O’Malley, followed by a Chicago event for Alexi Giannoulias, who is in a tight race for Obama’s former Senate seat.
The President and First Lady will appear together at The Oval on the campus of The Ohio State University on October 17th. More details to follow…..
