Hillary Clinton, a former democratic presidential candidate, will headline fundraisers for some of the Democrats running for the midterm elections this November, Fox News reported. The events featuring Clinton will take place in New York, Chicago and San Francisco, with the first one kicking off next month.

"There has never been a more important midterm election, and Secretary Clinton is going to do her part to lift up the next generation of leaders," Clinton spokesman Nick Merrill said in an interview with NBC News.

Clinton's spokesperson failed to name the candidates that she intends to campaign for. Earlier, the former presidential candidate organized a fundraiser for Lucy McBath, a gun control activist who won elections in Georgia recently.
