Hillary Clinton will return to the campaign trail, stumping this fall for one of the 2018 midterm’s most crucial races.

Florida Democratic gubernatorial candidate Andrew Gillum will campaign alongside the 2016 presidential nominee on October 23, in the waning weeks of the race.

“I’m honored to have Secretary Clinton join me in Florida next month,” Tallahassee Mayor Gillum said in a statement. “Hillary knows just what's at stake in this election—affordable healthcare, a brighter future for our children—and that the choice in this election could not be clearer.”

Clinton, of course, narrowly lost Florida in the presidential election, helping President Trump secure his shocking win alongside his success in the Midwest.

1. Gillum endorsed Hillary in Match '16. He was always a supporter. I'm so happy to see

Madam President Clinton supporting him.

WTG, Hillary!

2. I know he was a surrogate for her in Florida, and I'm pretty sure he was a Clinton delegate, too.

3. Yes he was. I can't wait to see him and Hillary together on the campaign trail!

4. Here is Gillum's tweet about this event. Have to say that there

are not a lot of good responses. Many wondering why or saying it is a mistake.

I say--it it good to have an intelligent woman on the stump with him.

6. I love Hillary and think the next gov. of Fl. will be Gillum

But, there is a deep and ugly thread of anti-women, anti-black in Florida and I feel uneasy about Hillary coming to Florida . There is an open sore on Florida's political body that makes me think it would not be in Gillum's best to have her campaign for him here.

7. Gillum was a Clinton Delegate to the National Convention

This is a great move by Hillary Clinton

8. I respect and admire her immensely but I hope this isn't a mistake.

9. Yup.

That's how I feel.

Now, if OBAMA campaigned for him, that would be a clincher.

I think it would be best if Hillary campaigns in states that she won.
