She'll stand with U.S. Sen. Al Franken and Gov. Mark Dayton at a 2 p.m. rally in Minneapolis at Patrick Henry High School. The event is free and open to the public, although tickets will be required.

The DFL is telling people interested in attending to RSVP through the party website.

Obama's visit is the latest in a series of high profile political appearances. New Jersey governor and possible GOP presidential contender Chris Christie was in Minnesota on Monday stumping for Republican gubernatorial contender Jeff Johnson and GOP senate candidate Mike McFadden.

Vice President Joe Biden is expected to campaign for DFL Congressman Rick Nolan in northern Minnesota, possibly on Thursday, although details on that visit haven't been announced.
