DAYTON, Ohio (AP) — President Barack Obama will return to battleground Ohio next week a day after his final debate with Republican challenger Mitt Romney.

Campaign officials say Obama plans to join Vice President Joe Biden on Tuesday at a campaign event in Dayton.

Biden is making a three-day swing through Ohio starting on Monday. The campaign says he'll speak at events in Canton and Lorain. Also on Tuesday, he'll visit the University of Toledo.

Details of Biden's stops on Wednesday have yet to be released.

With less than three weeks left before Election Day, Obama and Romney are spending a lot of time in the prized swing state and counting on some big names to build up enthusiasm.

Singer Bruce Springsteen and former President Bill Clinton campaigned for the president on Thursday.
