With 40 days until America takes to the polls to vote, Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton is once again deploying first lady Michelle Obama to stump for her in the crucial battleground state of Pennsylvania.
After a brand-new campaign ad featuring the first lady rolls out this morning, Obama will speak to students and supporters at LaSalle University in Philadelphia in the afternoon. From there she heads to Pittsburgh for a second Clinton campaign event.
Michelle Obama first hit the trail to rally for Clinton earlier this month after her stirring remarks at the summer Democratic National Convention. Given her sky-high approval rating among the American people, even when compared to her husband's, the Clinton campaign clearly views the first lady as a valuable surrogate, with Clinton's even quoting her during the debate Monday night against Donald Trump.
The first lady is likely to echo past concerns and criticisms of Trump's divisiveness and what she has said are her concerns about the poor example she believes he sets for the nation's children.
In her most recent rally for Clinton, Michelle Obama derided Trump for the five years he championed the "birther" conspiracy theory that her husband was not a natural-born citizen.
