Progressive heroes Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren are both headed to Ohio this weekend to anchor organizing events for Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign, Hillary For America announced this morning.
Details for Sanders’ appearances are as follows:
Bernie Sanders to Campaign for Hillary Clinton in Ohio, Lay Out Stakes of Election for Millennial Voters
On Saturday, September 17, Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont will campaign for Hillary Clinton in Ohio, where he will lay out the stakes of November’s election. At public events in the Canton, Kent and Akron areas, Sanders will emphasize Clinton’s plans to support millennials, including making free community college and debt-free college available to all Americans, protecting access to health care for young Americans, reforming our immigration system and supporting DREAMers and their families, raising the minimum wage and protecting our climate. He will also urge Ohioans to register to vote ahead of the October 11 deadline.
This week, Hillary for Ohio released a report which finds that, under Clinton’s college plan, the New College Compact, 150,000 Ohio students would pay no tuition for a four-year college degree. Clinton’s plan allows families with incomes up to $125,000 — more than 89 percent of Ohio households — to pay no tuition at in-state public colleges and universities. The full report can be viewed online here.
In the Canton area, Sanders will kick off a “Weekend of Action” organizing event, and in the Kent and Akron areas, Sanders will rally Ohioans on college campuses. Additional details about these events will be released soon.

Details for Warren’s appearances are as follows:
Elizabeth Warren to Campaign for Hillary Clinton in Ohio, Lay Out Stakes of Election for Millennial Voters
This weekend, Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts will campaign for Hillary Clinton and Ted Strickland in Ohio, where she will lay out the stakes of November’s election for millennial voters. At public Ohio Democratic Party events in Columbus and Cleveland, Warren will emphasize Clinton’s plans to make free community college and debt-free college available to all Americans, while urging Ohioans to register to vote ahead of the October 11 deadline.

Meanwhile, next Thursday, Chelsea Clinton will also campaign in Ohio:
On Thursday, September 22, Chelsea Clinton will return to Ohio to campaign for Hillary Clinton. At an event in the Toledo area, she will lay out the stakes of November’s election for Ohio families and emphasize her mom’s belief that we are stronger together when the economy works for everyone — not just those at the top.
Unlike Trump, Clinton’s campaign has a large number of high profile Democratic leaders who can be called upon to headline events for the campaign, and Clinton’s campaign strategists are taking full advantage of this, with Hillary Clinton off the trail and recovering from pneumonia ahead of the first debate.
Hillary For America has sent President Obama and Vice President Joe Biden to Pennsylvania, First Lady Michelle Obama to Virginia, President Bill Clinton to Nevada, and now Senators Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders to Ohio.
The campaign’s plan to send Sanders and Warren to Ohio was made public just one day after the release of a credible poll showing Donald Trump has a lead in Ohio:
Donald Trump leads Hillary Clinton by 5 percentage points in a Bloomberg Politics poll of Ohio, a gap that underscores the Democrat’s challenges in critical Rust Belt states after one of the roughest stretches of her campaign.
The Republican nominee leads Clinton 48 percent to 43 percent among likely voters in a two-way contest and 44 percent to 39 percent when third-party candidates are included.
Sending both Warren and Sanders to Ohio for weekend events is a smart move. But when Hillary is able to campaign again, she needs to lay out a compelling case for how she will govern progressively and build an administration that will put the needs and concerns of the people — not powerful interests — first.
