A campaign event for President Barack Obama in the Springfield High School gymnasium has been moved to Friday .

Doors will open at 10:15 a.m., and the president is expected to arrive at about noon, Clark County Democratic Party Chair Ron Rhine said Tuesday afternoon.

Obama’s campaign confirmed the schedule change saying, “As the President and his administration continue to closely monitor the impact of and response to the hurricane, any additional updates to the President’s campaign schedule will be announced as needed.”

The event had previously been scheduled for late Thursday.

The President canceled all Wednesday campaign events in Ohio to monitor the response to Hurricane Sandy.

Tickets are now available at the Clark County Democratic Headquarters, 1335 N. Limestone St., the Champaign County Democratic Party Headquarters, 111 S. Main St. in Urbana and at the OFA-OH Springfield Office, 1214 N. Bechtle Ave. in Springfield.
