President Obama will travel to Maryland next week to rally voter turnout in support of Gov. Martin O’Malley, who is running for re-election against Republican former governor Bob Ehrlich.
The president will campaign with O’Malley in Washington’s back yard on Oct. 7, according to O’Malley spokesman Rick Abbruzzese. Abbruzzese said a location has not yet been confirmed.
A “Democratic source” told The Washington Post, which first reported the visit, that Prince George’s County is the likely venue.
Obama began soliciting votes for O’Malley on Tuesday in a radio ad circulating in the Baltimore market. The ad will hit the Washington region’s airwaves next week.
