Vice President Joe Biden will make his first appearance on the 2016 presidential campaign trail on July 8, appearing with Hillary Clinton at a Pennsylvania Democratic Party event in the Scranton area, the Clinton campaign announced Thursday.

Clinton's campaign announced on Wednesday that President Barack Obama will appear with his former secretary of state at a rally in Charlotte, North Carolina, on Tuesday, an event originally scheduled for June 15 in Green Bay, Wisconsin, but canceled in the wake of the Orlando shooting.


Biden announced his support of Clinton hours after Obama officially endorsed her for the presidency, telling an audience that, "God willing," she will be the next president.
