Stumping for Hillary Clinton, Obama Will Urge His Supporters to Get Out the Vote

Mr. Obama’s task is not to try to persuade independents or Republicans that they should choose Mrs. Clinton over Donald J. Trump, the Republican nominee, according to White House officials and the Clinton campaign. Instead, he will urge his most enthusiastic supporters — young voters and African-Americans — to register or to be sure to turn out to vote for Mrs. Clinton.

“The president’s focus is on getting the Obama coalition to the polls,” said Jen Psaki, the White House communications director.

Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. will also hit the campaign trail about twice a week stumping not only for Mrs. Clinton but for Democratic Senate candidates in states like Pennsylvania, Ohio and Missouri, said Kate J. Bedingfield, a spokeswoman for Mr. Biden.

On Thursday, Mr. Biden will campaign in Cleveland and Youngstown, Ohio, and on Monday will be in Pittsburgh.
