One of the worlds richest men, Warren Buffett, will campaign for Hillary Clinton this month in Nebraska. The Omaha World-Herald first reported last week that Buffett, who runs the Berkshire Hathaway empire, will stump for Clinton on Dec. 16 to rally support for her campaign prior to Nebraskas Democratic caucuses and the states primary vote in early March.
A spokesperson for the Clinton campaign confirmed to CNBC Clinton and Buffett will be making a joint appearance.
The Nebraska native has donated tens of thousands of dollars to her super PAC, Ready for Hillary. He predicted last year that Clinton, now in her second bid for the White House, would win the Democratic nomination and the presidency.
I think that she is the most likely person to be president of the United States, Buffett told the Fox Business Network in May. Im going to vote for her.

Denise Pitts walked into the pawn shop not far from where she bought her mobile home in Knoxville, Tennessee, and offered up her wedding rings for $100. Her marriage wasnt over, but her husband was battling cancer and, Pitts said, her mortgage company told her the only way to keep a roof over his head would be to sell everything else.
Across the country in Ephrata, Washington, Kirk and Patricia Ackley sat down to close on a new mobile home, only to learn that the annual interest on their loan would be 12.5 percent rather than the 7 percent they said they had been promised. They went ahead because they had spent $11,000, most of their savings, to dig a foundation.
