Presidential candidates to visit Colorado

Article by Hannah Downey

Both presidential candidates are set to be stopping in Colorado this Friday, the morning of the election.  Hillary Clinton, the Democratic nominee, is scheduled to be appearing in Denver, while Scott Walker, the Republican candidate, will be spending his time in Colorado Springs.  Both will be holding press conferences on the tarmacs before taking off to other election day activities.

The stop is Colorado is thought to be the final push by either candidate to draw out voters in the close race throughout the country.  Current opinion polls show that the national vote puts Walker ahead of Clinton 52% to 48%, while polls reveal that Colorado voters favor Clinton above Walker 52% to 48%.  For Clinton to win the Presidency it is essential that she wins Colorado.

Both campaigns have made themselves present in Colorado.  Commercials for both Clinton and Walker have saturated the airwaves, buying more ads in Colorado than in any other state.  While neither has been directly involved in the current Colorado race for Senate, Clinton has endorsed Bennet and Walker has endorsed Coffman.
