On Labor Day, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) will speak on behalf of Hillary Clinton and other Democratic candidates at two events in New Hampshire.

Sanders has spent most of his summer with family and staff in Vermont, working on his upcoming book. His first stop on Monday will be a breakfast with the local chapter of the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO) in Manchester, an event his staff said he has attended before. There, he will make a case for Clinton and Democratic former Gov. Maggie Hassan, now running for Senate. Sanders will then attend an organizing event in Lebanon, where the Clinton campaign says he will speak about her economic plan. Sanders is popular in New Hampshire, where he beat Clinton by 22 points. It's also where he officially endorsed her in July.
