New Jersey Gov. Jon Corzine is telling supporters that President Barack Obama will campaign with him.
In an e-mail to supporters Wednesday, Corzine says Obama would appear at a campaign event at Rutgers University in New Brunswick on July 16.
Corzine is trailing in recent polls to Republican Chris Christie.
Corzine's campaign has been stressing its ties to the popular president.
Vice President Joe Biden appeared at a rally with Corzine on the night the governor was won the Democratic primary.
Corzine began serving as governor on Jan. 17, 2006.
