Jay Z will hold a concert in Cleveland in support of Hillary Clinton. Buzzfeed News reports that the show is being held in an effort to encourage black voters to turn out at the polls on election day in Ohio, which is one of the most important swing states. Jay Z and Beyoncé both endorse Clinton, and the two hung out with Bill Clinton backstage at Made In America this year. The date of the concert has yet to be confirmed, but we'll update when it is.
