BURLINGTON, Mass. (AP) — President Barack Obama and Republican Mitt Romney are embarking on a week heavy with travel through battleground states and appeals to key constituencies with less than two months until Election Day.

Obama is kicking off a week of travel in Ohio on Monday, with stops scheduled in Cincinnati and Columbus. The president plans to raise campaign cash in New York on Tuesday, followed by events in Florida on Thursday, Virginia on Friday and Wisconsin on Saturday.

Romney's itinerary includes fundraising stops in the Los Angeles area, where he is courting Latino voters with an address before the United States Hispanic Chamber of Commerce and an interview with Spanish-language television network Telemundo. He is also expected to hold fundraising events in Utah and Texas before heading to Florida.
