Columpocalypse 2016 — Obama & Trump in Columbus Today

614now Staff

How much do you care about being stuck in traffic? If it is a lot you may want to completely avoid the area surrounding the convention center. Barack is coming to town, and also Trump and also the Blue Jackets are playing a home opener.

So what is Obama doing in lil’ ol’ Columbus? He’s the headline speaker for a fundraiser event, the Ohio Democratic Party’s annual State Dinner.

“We’re deeply honored that Barack Obama is taking the time to fire up Ohio Democrats as we enter the final stretch of the 2016 campaign,” said Ohio Democratic Party Chairman David Pepper. “As Ohio goes, so goes the nation, and we are ready to help elect Hillary Clinton as our first woman president, send Ted Strickland to the Senate and boost Democrats up and down the ballot.”

Trump will also be in Columbus today but not for anything open to the public, instead it will be a private event this afternoon.

Medium-sized story short — traffic is going to be a nightmare for a potentially indeterminate amount of time, especially when you consider the Blue Jackets are having their home opener tonight.

Godspeed and good luck.
