Sanders, Warren to Ohio as Clinton slides in polls
Liberal stalwarts Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders will campaign for Hillary Clinton in Ohio this weekend as the Democratic presidential nominee tries to halt her slide in the polls.
{mosads}The senators are scheduled to appear at five events. Sanders (I-Vt.) is slated to swing through Canton, Kent and Akron on Saturday, while Warren (D-Mass.) will spend the day in Columbus followed by a Sunday event in Cleveland.
Clinton’s lead in Ohio appears to have evaporated, with two recent polls showing GOP nominee Donald Trump ahead.
Trump held a rally in Canton on Wednesday night, hours after a CNN/ORC poll found him up by 4 percent. A Bloomberg poll from that same day found Trump up 5 percent, while a CBS News/YouGov poll released Sunday showed Clinton up 7 points.
Clinton held a 5 percent lead in RealClearPolitics’s average last month, but Trump now leads by a hair.
Warren and Sanders are expected to highlight Clinton’s call for free community college and debt-free college, according to a release from the Clinton campaign.
