WASHINGTON — Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton plans to campaign for Barack Obama in Nevada and Florida this month, events expected to be her first solo campaign appearances for Obama since she lost the Democratic nomination contest.
The Obama campaign said Tuesday that Clinton will host rallies and voter-registration events Friday in Las Vegas and Aug. 21 in south Florida.
In June, Clinton and Obama appeared together in Unity, N.H., in a symbolic event to push for party unity after their long and often bitter primary battle. Both also have been helping each other raise money, in Clinton’s case to retire her hefty campaign debt. Democrats hope Clinton; her husband, former President Clinton; and Obama can persuade supporters on both sides to put aside any bad feelings and come together to defeat Republican Sen. John McCain this fall.
Sen. Clinton is scheduled to deliver a speech at the Democratic National Convention in Denver later this month. The Associated Press
