Obama will depart Charlotte by 5:05 p.m., according to the White House press office.
According to the Associated Press, the last time Obama and Clinton traveled together was 2012 when they visited newly democratic Myanmar, a pet-issue of Clinton’s. While Obama and Clinton are only expected to be in Charlotte for a few hours, their schedules leave room for a possible unannounced stop around town that could showcase their personal rapport. The Associated Press contributed.
