Clintons, Obamas will campaign together night before election
By Lisa Hagen
Hillary Clinton will cap off her presidential campaign with a blockbuster lineup at her final rally on the night before the election.
The Democratic presidential nominee will be joined by her husband, former President Bill Clinton, daughter Chelsea Clinton, President Obama and first lady Michelle Obama in Philadelphia on Monday night, according to the campaign
The last time they were all together -- also in Philadelphia -- was when Clinton accepted her party's nomination at Democratic National Convention this summer.
During the Monday night rally, Clinton will focus on why she believes GOP nominee Donald Trump is unqualified to serve as president and how his policies create divisions in America.
President Obama will make the case that the former secretary of State is best suited to carry on and strengthen the progress made in his administration, according to the campaign.
Both Obamas have been power players on the campaign trail as they seek to draw contrasts between Clinton and Trump.
The first lady has notably become the breakout star in this election, giving several impassioned, emotional speeches about why GOP nominee Donald Trump is unfit to serve in the White House.
The high-profile campaign appearance comes as the presidential race has tightened in recent weeks. Clinton now leads Trump by less than 2 points nationally according to RealClearPolitics polling average.
In Pennsylvania, Clinton leads the RealClearPolitics average by 3.8 points. The battleground state does not allow early voting, which makes Monday's get-out-the-vote event a massive rally on the eve of polls opening statewide.
