Bidens rally for Illinois Democrats on Monday

Vice President Joe Biden and his wife, Jill, are in Illinois campaigning for Democrats ahead of the Nov. 4 election.

U.S. Rep. Brad Schneider's campaign says Jill Biden attended a morning coffee event with him and approximately 100 women at a Northbrook deli on Monday.

The vice president later headlined a rally in Rockford to support U.S. Rep. Cheri Bustos and Gov. Pat Quinn.

Bustos and Schneider both face rematches from their 2012 Republican opponents. Republican Bob Dold is challenging Schneider in the 10th Congressional District; Bustos is facing Republican Bobby Schilling in the 17th District.

Vice President Biden appeared in Vernon Hills last week for Schneider.

The Bidens are among other high-profile Democrats - including the Obamas and Clintons - who have campaigned in Illinois in recent weeks.
