Bill Clinton Returns to Kentucky for Senate Nominee Grimes

Former President Bill Clinton returns to Kentucky on Tuesday to campaign with Democratic Senate hopeful Alison Lundergan Grimes two weeks before the election.

Clinton is scheduled to hold campaign rallies in Owensboro and Paducah on Tuesday. It will be Clinton's third visit to Kentucky this year, and it follows a visit last week from Hillary Clinton in Louisville in front of thousands of people.

Large crowds have also flocked to Bill Clinton's appearances, a sign the Clintons are still popular in a state that has voted for them a combined three times for president. Grimes has used her association with the Clintons to distance herself from Democratic President Barack Obama.

Republican Senator Mitch McConnell is scheduled to have six campaign stops in five eastern Kentucky counties on Tuesday.
