Last month, US media reported that Obama was launching an unprecedented wave of campaigning for Clinton, devoting at least two days a week to rallies and outreach.
Florida’s 29 votes in the US Electoral College are considered crucial for either of the two major-party candidates to win the presidency on November 8.
Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump is trailing Democrat Hillary Clinton in the state, according to recent polls.
