Clinton rallies with Mrs. Obama as Trump alleges corruption

U.S. presidential candidate Hillary Clinton on Thursday was joined at a campaign rally for the first time by first lady Michelle Obama.

The two first ladies – one former, one current – campaigned together for the first time in North Carolina on Thursday, in a joint rally aimed at allowing Clinton to tap into the Obamas’ soaring popularity in the final homestretch of the election.

Both the president and first lady have said before that she has no plans to run for office, but her appearances on the 2016 campaign trail rallying supporters for Hillary Clinton have raised questions about her political aspirations.

Clinton promised to take good care of Obama’s White House vegetable garden if she won and wistfully praised the athletic first lady’s dancing skills.

The First Lady called Clinton the sort of president United States children deserve, someone who is a unifying force in this country rather than a divisive one – someone who asks Americans to embrace their differences.

Since she’s emerged as Clinton’s headline-grabbing surrogate, people wonder one thing, Mrs. Obama noted.

Early voting has been under way for the past week in North Carolina, with about one million ballots cast, around the same as in the last presidential election. She’s encouraged more young people to go to college and follow your dreams and she has supported America’s military families who serve and sacrifice as well for our country. “All we’re going to see is more gridlock and more obstruction and more threats to shut down the government, and more threats to wreck the economy”.

Obama, Vice President Joe Biden, and President Clinton are among the high-profile advocates campaigning for Clinton in Florida.

Obama, while speaking to a crowd of mostly students at the University of Central Florida, did not mention the Federal Bureau of Investigation probe but instead made the case for why he believes Clinton is the only choice for president.

Hillary Clinton is joined by Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren on the campaign trail in Manchester, New Hampshire, on October 24, 2016. In a speech earlier this month in New Hampshire she condemned Trump’s remarks about women in a 2005 video, saying, “It has shaken me to my core”.

She cofounded the group for Clinton in May when she realized Trump had a pathway to the nomination. She has been a lawyer, a law professor, First Lady of Arkansas, First Lady of the US, a US Senator, secretary of state.

The Trump campaign on Friday downplayed federal filings showing Hillary Clinton with an $85 million cash advantage in the final stretch of the campaign.

“We can’t grow enough manufacturing jobs for everybody”, Clinton said. Mrs. Obama’s passionate response to Trump’s vulgar comments about women brought an emotional resonance to Clinton’s bid that the candidate, who rarely gets personal on the stump, doesn’t often deliver.

Then she harkened back to her husband’s own winning campaign theme of eight years ago. Michelle said this year’s election is not about Republicans versus Democrats, but about something much bigger.
