Donald Trump no doubt will dominate the political news this week, as Republicans convene in Cleveland to make his nomination for president official. But Hillary Clinton is hardly going dark.

The presumptive Democratic nominee started her day Monday in the battleground state of Ohio, with an address here to a gathering of the NAACP that she used to announce a major voter mobilization drive and to decry Sunday’s fatal shootings of three law enforcement officers in Baton Rouge.

“People who care about protecting police officers should be committed to getting assault weapons off the street to begin with,” Clinton told the gathering, working in a pitch for more gun control.

And that was just the start of a busy stretch during which Clinton touched down in Minnesota later Monday to talk to a large gathering of teachers and planned to hit Nevada on Tuesday to address government workers and continue to tout her campaign’s goal of signing up 3 million new voters before November — at minor-league baseball games, colleges and barber shops.

There was a time not too long ago when it was common for presidential hopefuls to lie low during the other party’s nominating convention. That began to change during recent cycles, however, and Clinton appears to be setting a new standard.

“Counterprogramming makes a lot more sense in 2016 than it ever has before,” said Joe Trippi, a longtime Democratic operative. “I think it’s going to become the norm.”

With a 24-hour news cycle and a greater variety of news outlets than ever before, it has become much easier for candidates to break through, even when much of the country’s collective political attention is focused elsewhere.

Being visible also will help Clinton work her way into news coverage of the Republican National Convention. When Republicans criticize her, television stations will have recent footage of her available to air as they round out their reports.

Clinton aides say their efforts are designed to draw a stark contrast between the message that will be coming out of Cleveland and their candidate’s agenda.

“This week gives voters a chance to see clearly the choice in this election,” said Jesse Ferguson, a Clinton spokesman. “Hillary Clinton is standing with advocates of civil rights and justice, teachers and working families during the week while Donald Trump is putting his dangerous, backward agenda on display for the nation. We’re going to highlight that choice every day.”

In another bid to get their message out, the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee are staging a “counterconvention” operation from a temporary headquarters in Cleveland set up less than a mile from the GOP convention site.

There are plans to hold daily news conferences, arrange conference calls with reporters and take to Twitter with the hashtag #BetterThanThis.

That began Monday morning with a session on Trump’s “dangerous national security proposals,” including his proposed ban on Muslims entering the country and his support for waterboarding and other interrogation methods that Democrats say amount to torture. A trio of Clinton supporters including DNC Chairman Debbie Wasserman Schultz were the featured speakers.

Clinton started her day here with an address at the 107th NAACP convention, which Trump declined an invitation to attend, organizers said.

“We all know about that other convention happening up in Cleveland today,” Clinton said toward the outset of her remarks. “My opponent may have a different view, but there’s nowhere I’d rather be than right here with all of you.”

Speaking to a crowd of thousands of black activists — whose turnout will be crucial in several battleground states — Clinton pledged to remain committed to the cause of better policing, with the aim of reducing the number of police-related deaths of unarmed African Americans.

“You know what, when the 24-hour news cycle moves on, I won’t,” she said. “This is too important. This goes to the heart of who we are. This is about our character as Americans.”

Shortly afterward, Clinton headlined an event at the University of Cincinnati to thank mostly young workers who are helping register new voters. She was joined there by Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio), who has been mentioned as a possible Clinton running mate but does not appear to be among the leading contenders.

Later Monday, Clinton was in Minneapolis to address a convention of the American Federation of Teachers, a union that got behind her early in the Democratic primary season.

Clinton told the crowd that Trump’s running mate, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, is “one of the most extreme vice presidential picks in a generation.” She took aim at his record on education, saying he had shortchanged some of the most vulnerable students in his state.

Clinton also has an address scheduled Tuesday in Las Vegas at a convention of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, another labor union strongly backing her.

Before leaving the battleground state of Nevada, Clinton plans to hold another event highlighting her campaign’s voter registration initiative.

By week’s end, she could make much bigger news — with the announcement of her running mate. That is widely expected to come Friday or Saturday, in an effort to cut short any lingering coverage of the Republican convention, which will be capped off Thursday night with Trump’s acceptance speech.
