Former President Bill Clinton will campaign later this month for Democrat Alison Lundergan Grimes, who is challening Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell in Kentucky's Senate contest this year.

Clinton's appearance in the Bluegrass State, which was first reported by Louisville's Courier Journal, will come on Feb. 25.

The Kentucky Senate race is one of the most closely watched contests of 2014 -- with both McConnell's GOP primary against Matt Bevin, and this potentially competitive general election.
