Hillary Clinton's campaign announced Thursday that Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) will be hitting the campaign trail in Ohio this weekend. The announcement came just a day after two different polls showed Donald Trump pulling 5 points ahead in the Buckeye State.
Sanders is slated to appear Saturday in the Canton, Kent, and Akron areas, where he will talk about Clinton's proposals for debt-free college, health care, immigration, and the minimum wage. In Columbus and Cleveland, Warren will discuss Clinton's college proposals and "lay out the stakes of November's election for millennial voters," the Clinton campaign said in a statement.
