CINCINNATI (AP) - President Barack Obama has canceled his campaign event scheduled in Cincinnati Wednesday and will instead focus on the impact of Superstorm Sandy.
The White House said Tuesday that the president will not attend events scheduled Wednesday in swing state Ohio. He will remain in Washington to monitor the storm and the federal response. This is his third straight day skipping out on campaigning because of the superstorm that battered the East Coast.
Obama already canceled events Monday and Tuesday to be at the White House during the storm.
The president was set to speak at Duke Energy Center Wednesday morning.
Mitt Romney is speaking in Kettering, Ohio, Tuesday morning and is scheduled to attend another event in West Chester Friday.
