At the event, the Democrat’s presumptive presidential nominee will “discuss her commitment to building an America that is stronger together and an economy that works for everyone, not just those at the top,” according to a statement.

U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-VT, according to press reports, will endorse Clinton at the event. He told Bloomberg on Thursday that Democrats and independents “have got to do everything that we can to defeat Donald Trump and elect Hillary Clinton.”

Trump, the Republican’s presumptive nominee, held a campaign event in Manchester two weeks ago, arguing the U.S. should withdraw from the Trans-Pacific Partnership and renegotiate NAFTA.

Granite State voters can expect to see a lot of both candidates in the coming months since New Hampshire has historically been a swing state, despite Democrats winning its Electoral College votes and most statewide races during the last three presidential election cycles.

According to Real Clear Politics, the last head-to-head poll of New Hampshire was in late June and showed Clinton 5 percentage points ahead of Trump, with a margin of error of around 4 points. The RCP average – meaning, every poll of New Hampshire since early May – shows Clinton up by around 2.7 percent.

In all of the polling, undecided voters and/or preferences for Libertarian Party nominee Gary Johnson and presumptive Green Party nominee Jill Stein have been anywhere from 12 to 18 percent, meaning that come November, how New Hampshire will vote is anyone’s guess.
