The rally comes on the heels of Sunday’s second presidential debate. Clinton and Republican challenger Donald Trump squared off in a town hall-style debate that included more than a few jabs between the candidates. Trump, under heavy fire since a video emerged last week catching him in what he’s characterized as “locker room talk,” also attempted to put women who have accused former President Bill Clinton of sexual misconduct in his family box at the debate.

Trump has taken a beating the national polls since the video was released. As of Monday morning, the RealClear Politics average gave Clinton a 4.9 percentage point lead over Trump in a four-way race.
