The event will take place at 2 p.m. in Winston-Salem, N.C., a state where Clinton leads GOP nominee Donald Trump by more than 2 points in the RealClearPolitics polling average. 

During the campaign event, Clinton and Obama will “lay out what is at stake in November” and push for supporters to vote early for the Democratic nominee’s ticket.

Clinton held also rallies in the state on Sunday as she works to earn the state’s 15 electoral votes.

Obama has appeared on the trail for Clinton several times as Election Day draws nearer. 

Her takedown of Trump earlier this month for boasting about his sexually aggressive behavior toward women earned praise from political strategists as one of the most effective stump speeches of the 2016 campaign.
