Jay Z is set to perform a “get out the vote” concert in Ohio, prior to Election Day, with the aim of getting black voters out for Hillary Clinton in the key swing state. The date nor the venue of the performance have been confirmed but a Clinton aide confirmed to BuzzFeed News on Monday that the show will take place in Cleveland. The gig comes as part of Clinton’s effort to lock up key battleground states, with Ohio being among the states in which she has consistently trailed Donald Trump. By encouraging younger minority voters to show up to the polls, Trump’s chances in a state like Ohio would diminish. Jay Z, along with wife and fellow pop icon Beyoncé, have been outspoken supporters of President Obama, and endorsed Clinton early on in the Democratic primary.
