Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are seeing a lot of Florida lately. Fresh off their tours around the Sunshine State last week, both Trump and Clinton’s campaigns will be coming back to the Sunshine State in what will be their final pushes before Election Day.
On Sunday, Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton was campaigning in South Florida, making stops in Miami and Wilton Manors to speak to voters.
During her stops, Clinton addressed the latest controversy in the email scandal which has plagued her throughout most of her presidential campaign.
On Friday, FBI Director James Comey announced the bureau would be reopening the investigation into Clinton’s private server after discovering new emails linked to Anthony Weiner’s sexting scandal.
Still, Clinton seemed to remain upbeat about the remainder of her campaign, which will officially wrap up in ten days.
Clinton vowed to not let anything stand in her way to the White House.
“I’m not stopping now, we’re just getting warmed up,” Clinton said in Wilton Manors. “We’re not going to be distracted, no matter what our opponents throw at us.”
Clinton’s husband, former president Bill Clinton, will be making yet another round of campaign stops on his wife’s behalf throughout Florida this week.
On Tuesday, Bill Clinton will be making stops in Miami-Dade, Collier and Pinellas counties, though specific venues had not yet been released.
President Barack Obama will go to bat for Clinton at the end of this week, stopping in South Florida and Jacksonville Thursday. Vice president Joe Biden will appear in Tampa and in West Palm Beach Wednesday.
On Trump’s side, vice presidential candidate Mike Pence will be making his rounds in Cocoa, Maitland and Clearwater.
Trump has not scheduled any appearances in Florida this week, but completed a statewide tour last week, holding rallies in South Florida, Tampa Bay and in the Panhandle.
With Election Day only 10 days away, both candidates are honing their focus in on Florida, which is widely considered to be the most important swing state in the nation. Its purple status -- where it is neither heavily Republican nor heavily Democratic -- make it the key place to pick up 29 electoral votes on Nov. 8.
Polls suggest the race between Clinton and Trump is still tight. An NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Marist poll released Sunday showed the two in a virtual tie, with Clinton taking 45 percent of the vote while Trump took 44 percent.
Election Day is Nov. 8.
