Obama, Biden to Attend Tubbs Jones Memorial

Campaign officials confirm that both Obama and Biden plan to attend Saturday's memorial service for Representative Stephanie Tubbs Jones. She died Wednesday of a brain aneurysm. Hillary Clinton also plans to attend. Tubbs Jones was Clinton's national campaign co-chairwoman, and the two grew close in the past few years. Clinton even called her girlfriend-in-chief.

Saturday's memorial begins at 11 at the Cleveland Convention Center's public auditorium. Remembrances are also planned at this week's Democratic National Convention in Denver.
