Barack Obama to rally thousands in Jacksonville five days before election
Possibly the two biggest draws in the hard-hitting, hectic final days of the race for president will be in Jacksonville at almost the same time Thursday afternoon – reinforcing the importance in the election of Florida and one of its most populous regions.

Obama will campaign for Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, his former secretary of state, who he hopes will build on his legacy and initiatives. He speaks at a rally that begins at 1:30 p.m. at the University of North Florida Arena.
