Former President Barack Obama is rallying supporters of New Jersey's Democratic gubernatorial candidate, who served as the U.S. ambassador to Germany during Obama's presidency.
Obama spoke to Phil Murphy's campaign volunteers on Thursday afternoon in Newark.
He walked onto stage and hugged Murphy as the crowd chanted, "Four more years!" Obama says he would refer those people "to the Constitution, as well as to Michelle Obama."
Murphy faces Republican Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno on Nov. 7 in the race to replace Republican Gov. Chris Christie, who prohibited by term limit laws from running again.
On Thursday evening, Obama will head to Richmond, Virginia, to rally support for Democratic gubernatorial candidate Ralph Northam in his race against former Republican National Committee chairman Ed Gillespie. Democratic Gov. Terry McAuliffe is also term-limited.
