Before taking the podium, President Clinton was introduced by Mississippi author and long-time Clinton supporter John Grisham.

The relationship between Bill Clinton and John Grisham goes back to 1992 when Clinton was first elected to the White House. Between the two, a story was told Saturday night about a letter written to the President claiming that they were 13th or 14th cousins.

The friendship that began soon after turned into campaign help. Grisham and his wife Renee have spent time on the campaign trail stumping for votes for Senator Clinton in Texas, South Carolina, and now the Magnolia State.

In what has turned into an unusually long campaign for the Clinton's, Grisham and his wife also plan to head to Pennsylvania at a later date asking for support for the former First Lady.

Grisham said that he is excited to campaign for Hillary Clinton and another exciting aspect is that his home state now matters in the primary, somthing that hasn't happened in several decades.
