EDGARTOWN, Mass. — Golf game, afternoons at the beach and ... political campaigning?

President Barack Obama is interrupting what so far has been a leisurely vacation to campaign and help raise money for Hillary Clinton, the Democratic presidential nominee. Obama has said there’s never been anyone more qualified than Clinton, who was his rival in the 2008 presidential contest and his first-term secretary of state, to be president.

Obama is slated to headline a Democratic Party fundraising reception this evening on Martha’s Vineyard, the island playground off the coast of Massachusetts where he’s in the midst of a two-week vacation with his wife, Michelle, and their daughters Malia and Sasha.

Democrats Hank Goldberg and his wife, Carol, are hosting the event at their home in Chilmark, the same town where the president is renting a vacation home.

Obama will deliver remarks, but the news media will not be permitted to hear his answers to questions asked by some of the donors in attendance.

Proceeds from the event will benefit the Hillary Victory Fund, a joint fundraising effort aiding her campaign, the Democratic National Committee and state parties across the country.

The a White House official said Obama is eager to hit the campaign trail and be as helpful as possible to fellow Democrats.

He is expected to campaign aggressively for Clinton in the fall run-up to the Nov. 8 elections. He endorsed her right after the primaries and caucuses ended in June.

Clinton is not expected to appear with Obama. She’ll be making her first campaign appearance with Vice President Joe Biden in his hometown of Scranton, Pa.
