The duo were all smiles as they took part in the Chappaqua Memorial Day parade Monday, not far from their home in the Westchester County, New York, community. As the crowd loudly cheered “Hillary 2016,” the former First Couple looked every bit the veteran campaigners as they mingled with well-wishers, flashed the thumbs-up sign and posed for selfies, per The Journal News. Although this is the first time the duo have taken part in a public event together recently, they have been spotted out a couple of times since the onetime secretary of state threw her hat in the ring. Earlier this month, the couple joined daughter Chelsea Clinton for a Mother’s Day dinner. The pair also recently took in a performance of The Audience with Helen Mirren on Broadway.
