CONCORD, N.H. — Senator Obama, a Democrat, who is mulling a presidential bid, will make his first visit to New Hampshire next month.
The Illinois lawmaker will join the state’s Democrats on December 10 for a belated celebration of their big win in the midterm election. Mr. Obama has traveled to Iowa, the site of the leadoff presidential caucuses, but New Hampshire hasn’t been on his itinerary.
Mr. Obama has gotten encouragement to seek the presidency in 2008 from Senator Durbin, also of Illinois, who sent a letter to political supporters this week encouraging them to sign a “Run, Barack, Run” petition.
