Hillary Clinton will campaign with Democratic gubernatorial candidate Andrew Gillum in Florida later this month, the Tallahassee mayor announced Thursday.
"So honored to announce that we'll campaign with Hillary Clinton on October 23 here in the Sunshine State," Gillum announced on his social media platforms. "Let's #BringItHome!"
Gillum's campaign didn't specify where or when Clinton will appear.
Gillum, who is seeking to become the first black governor of Florida and the first Democrat elected to the office in two decades, has a nearly double digit lead over his opponent, former Rep. Ron DeSantis, in Quinnipac University's latest poll.
A recent NBC News/Marist poll found Gillum with 48 percent support from likely voters over President Trump-endorsed DeSantis' 43 percent.
According to Wednesday's Quinnipac poll, Gillum’s support in the latest poll came mostly from women (59 percent to 39), Independents (56 percent to 40) and minority groups, with 98 percent of black voters and 59 percent of Hispanic voters saying they would vote for him as opposed to DeSantis.
