GREEN BAY - According to Matt DeFour in the Wisconsin State Journal today, Hillary Clinton plans to visit Green Bay with President Barack Obama on Wednesday, June 15. The visit will come just a week after Clinton won enough delegate votes in California, New Jersey, and several other states to secure the Democratic nomination for president.

According to DeFour, the visit will highlight the prominent role Wisconsin could play in November. Clinton will be campaigning in key battleground states Ohio and Pennsylvania on Monday and Tuesday before coming to Green Bay on Wednesday. More details on her visit were not immediately released.

In announcing the visit, Clinton's campaign said she and Obama will discuss "building on the progress we've made and their vision for an America that is stronger together."

potusClinton was soundly defeated by Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders in Wisconsin's presidential primary in April. But her victories Tuesday in New Jersey and California helped cement her place as the party's presumptive nominee. She had previously secured her place in history as the first female nominated for president by a major party with the overwhelming support of the party's so-called "superdelegates," whose votes at the Democratic National Convention in July aren't bound by state primary or caucus results.

Obama endorsed Clinton on Thursday saying in an online video, "I don’t think there’s ever been someone so qualified to hold this office."

"She’s got the courage, the compassion, and the heart to get the job done," Obama said. "I have seen her judgment. I've seen her toughness. I've seen her commitment to our values up close. And I’ve seen her determination to give every American a fair shot at opportunity, no matter how tough the fight — that’s what's always driven her, and still does."

It's unclear when Republican presumptive nominee Donald Trump might visit Wisconsin.
