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.
