Bill Clinton and Katy Perry are going to campaign together for Hillary


Democratic presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton is bringing in the big guns. Her husband, former President Bill Clinton, will headline his first rally for her Saturday, after having stayed out of the spotlight for most of her campaign so far, The Associated Press reports.
Bill, considered a go-to messenger for the Democrats, will be joined at the rally by someone with considerably less political experience: Katy Perry. The pop star has endorsed Clinton, a self-professed "Roar" fan.
The Des Moines event will precede an Iowa Democratic Party dinner. No word yet on whether Left Shark will be in attendance.
