LOS ANGELES (AP) — President Barack Obama will travel to Los Angeles and San Francisco next month for fundraising events.

Obama’s reelection campaign says the president will be in Los Angeles on Oct. 7 and San Francisco on Oct. 8. The California trip comes a few days after the first presidential debate between Obama and Republican Mitt Romney, set for Oct. 3 in Denver.

Obama and Romney are also scheduled to debate Oct. 16 in Hempstead, N.Y., and Oct. 22 in Boca Raton, Fl.
