Washington, November 4 (IANS) Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton will close her campaign with a top flight of surrogates, her political equivalent of assembling "The Avengers" on Novermber 7, a day before the presidential election.
President Barack Obama, former President Bill Clinton, First lady Michelle Obama and Chelsea Clinton will headline what will be her final rally togetherin Philadelphia, an aide said on Thursday.
The rally, which is expected to be one of Clinton's biggest of the campaign, acknowledges the importance of Pennsylvania -- and the Philadelphia area -- to Clinton's campaign, CNN reported.
Clinton has spent seven days campaigning in Pennsylvania since July's Democratic National Convention and aides feel a win in Pennsylvania will severely limit Trump's path to the presidency. The key for Clinton is to boost turnout in Philadelphia, especially among African-American voters, and in city's surrounding suburbs.
Clinton will also campaign in Pittsburgh on Friday and Philadelphia on Saturday night.
Tim Kaine, Clinton's vice presidential nominee, will be campaigning elsewhere, the aide said.
The aide said the November 7 event would not necessarily be Clinton's final event, but it was unlikely that Clinton will hold a rally on Election Day.
Clinton has relied on top Democratic surrogates to turn out voters in swing states across the country.
On Thursday, Clinton campaigned in North Carolina, while the President campaigned in Florida, Bill Clinton rallied voters in Michigan and Nevada, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders spoke in Ohio and Chelsea Clinton headlined events in Wisconsin.
Clinton stokes fears about Trump in appeal to black voters
Washington, (IANS) Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton has sought to mobilise African-American voters in North Carolina state by stressing the potential dangers of a victory by Republican rival Donald Trump.
"He has spent this entire campaign offering a dog whistle to his most hateful supporters. He re-tweets white supremacists and spreads racially tinged conspiracy theories," she said on Thursday in a speech at Pitt Community College in Winterville, where a third of residents are black.
The former Secretary of State pointed out that Trump was lavishly praised by a Ku Klux Klan (KKK) -- white supremacist organisation -- newspaper, though the Republican's campaign repudiated what many saw as an endorsement from the KKK, Efe news reported.
Participation in early voting among African Americans in North Carolina is down significantly from the level of 2008, when high black turnout helped Barack Obama carry the Tar Heel state on the way to becoming the first US President of African descent.
Clinton reminded the audience of repeated accusations that Trump discriminated against minorities in his real estate enterprises
"What would your life be like if he were in the White House?" she asked rhetorically. "And the truth is we really don't have to guess. We just have to look at everything he has said and done in his career and this campaign, it's a good preview of what would likely happen."
"If you add up all of the people and all the groups of people he has insulted and demeaned, it makes way more than half of America," Clinton said.
Trump and Clinton are currently tied in North Carolina, each with support from 46.4 per cent of likely voters, according to the average of polls tracked by the Web site RealClearPolitics.
North Carolina, with 15 electoral votes, is seen as vital to Trump's hopes of winning the White House.
Both candidates campaigned in the state on Thursday.
