President Barack Obama will hit the campaign trail with Hillary Clinton next Tuesday in Charlotte, North Carolina, the presumptive Democratic nominee's campaign announced Wednesday.

Obama had previously been scheduled to campaign with Clinton on June 15 in Green Bay, Wisconsin, but that event was canceled in the wake of the Orlando, Florida, shooting at a gay nightclub that killed 49 people, the deadliest terrorist attack on United States soil since 9/11.


"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," Obama said in his video statement endorsing his former secretary of state earlier this month.

In its press advisory, the campaign said Obama and Clinton "will discuss building on the progress we've made and their vision for an America that is stronger together," echoing the presumptive Democratic nominee's campaign slogan.

Obama narrowly won the battleground state of North Carolina in 2008 against John McCain and lost it to Mitt Romney in 2012 by two points.

The Republican National Committee, in its response, noted Republican victories in 2012, as well as in the 2014 midterm elections.

“This event will be another reminder that all Hillary Clinton is offering are four more years of the same failed Obama policies that have made America less prosperous and less safe," RNC spokesman Michael Short said in a statement.
