With just 22 days until Election Day, the Democratic Party is bringing in prominent figures to rally Black supporters.

Former President Barack Obama has been making stops in battleground states to speak directly to Black voters, while former President Bill Clinton also spoke to Black voters in Georgia on Sunday, a state he won in 1992.
