The event will be Thursday afternoon at 2 p.m. local time in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, a state where, according to current projections, Clinton has an edge over Trump with Election Day just two weeks away.

If the news that this is only their first event together seems a bit confusing, maybe that's because of how incredibly effective the First Lady has been on the stump for Clinton so far.

At the Democratic National Convention in July, Obama gave a rousing speech, endorsing Clinton and sharing the phrase that's become a rallying cry for Dems in a rough, crude campaign: "When they go low, we go high!"

And, in an appearance on behalf of Clinton in New Hampshire two weeks ago, Obama gave a moving speech attacking Trump's crude rhetoric and behavior toward women and giving Clinton another passionate endorsement.

A Clinton win in North Carolina would be something of an upset for the Democrat as the state has only gone to a Democrat twice in the last 40 years: in 2008 for Barack Obama by a razor-thin margin, and in 1976 when it went to Georgia governor Jimmy Carter.
