Barack Obama making one more swing through Central Florida

Barack Obama

And, he’s back.

President Barack Obama will make his second Central Florida appearance in the closing days of the election campaign with a rally in Kissimmee for Hillary Clinton Sunday afternoon.

Interstate 4 is seeing more power players than Pennsylvania Avenue lately.

Obama was last in the Orlando area last Friday. Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton was in the area Saturday, and again on Tuesday. Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump was in the area early last week and again on Wednesday. Republican vice presidential nominee Mike Pence was around on Monday. Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Kaine will be in the area Friday. It’s about time. It’s been a month since Central Floridians last saw him. It’s also been a month since Vice President Joe Biden has hit the Orlando area, but there’s still time.

Obama’s appearance is being billed as a get-out-the-vote rally.

He will appear at Osceola County Stadium — future home of the Florida Fire Frogs minor league baseball team — for a 1:30 p.m. rally. The doors will open at noon. People interested in going need to request reservations through the Hillary For America website.
