Former President Bill Clinton is scheduled to speak at an early voting organizing event in Memphis to rally supporters of his wife, Hillary Clinton, in the Tennessee primary.

Bill Clinton is scheduled to speak at a high school on Thursday evening. According to a news release from the Hillary Clinton campaign, the former president will "lay out what is at stake" in the Democratic side of the primary on March 1.

Early voting for the Tennessee primary began Wednesday. Memphis, the state's largest city, is located in Shelby County, which Democrat Barack Obama carried in the past two presidential elections.

Hillary Clinton, a former first lady, U.S. Senator and Secretary of State, is coming off a defeat in the New Hampshire primary to U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont.
