As Election Day looms, Clinton joins forces with Obamas in Philadelphia


Hillary Clinton's historic White House campaign came to a climactic close on the grounds of Independence Hall, the cradle of U.S. democracy, as she joined forces with President Obama, first lady Michelle Obama, former president Bill Clinton and an estimated crowd of more than 30,000 who turned out for the penultimate rally of the Democratic nominee's campaign that also included performances by Jon Bon Jovi and Bruce Springsteen.
Their speeches were part affirmation of Clinton's grit and qualifications and part warning of the unique dangers posed by a Donald Trump presidency.
"I’m betting America will reject the politics of resentment and the politics of blame," said President Obama. "I am betting that tomorrow you will reject fear and you’ll choose hope."
Clinton was given a final boost by the Obamas as the president's approval ratings were headed upward. She entered the campaign's final day before Americans go to the polls aiming to strike a positive note following a sharply divisive election season, emphasizing that she wants "to be the president for everybody."
“I think I have some work to do to bring the country together," she told reporters Monday morning in White Plains, N.Y., before embarking on a final day of campaign stops that would conclude with a late-night event in Raleigh, N.C. "I really do want to be the president for everybody — people who vote for me and people who vote against me," she added.
