Hillary Clinton Interviewed by Anderson Cooper

On Wednesday, following her loss in Indiana and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump now being the presumptive nominee, Hillary Clinton sat down for an interview with CNN’s Anderson Cooper. During the interview, Cooper asked Clinton about the Democratic race and whether she thought it was over. She said that in 2008 she fought until June, and she expects Bernie Sanders to do the same. Cooper also asked if she was ready to take on Trump in the general election to which she replied with a resounding yes. She spoke about Trump saying, “I don’t think we can take a risk on a loose cannon like Donald Trump running our country. I do think he is a loose cannon, and loose cannons tend to misfire.” A full video from the interview is below.

Today, Clinton also attended a “Break Down Barriers” conversation in Washington, DC hosted by Women for Hillary. The event featured a number of panelists including Eva Longoria, Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, Ilyse Hogue, and Maya Harris. The event was moderated by Cheryl Mills.

Tonight: Clinton Interview on CNN

Last night, Hillary Clinton and the remaining presidential candidates were interviewed on CNN. The three hour event, dubbed “The Final Five,” allowed each of the candidates to propose their final arguments before Tuesday’s primaries. During Clinton’s portion of the interview, Cooper asked her about her thoughts on Republican candidate Donald Trump and whether he would behave differently as president. She simply responded, “Who knows?”

Cooper than turned his questioning toward the primaries and her battle with Democratic rival Bernie Sanders. She dismissed suggestions that Sanders would be stronger in the general election saying that she is not a big believer in polls this far out from an election and at point where the final candidates haven’t been chosen. Clinton and Cooper also touch on a number of other topics including the Supreme Court, the United States’ relationship with Israel, and a number of platform topics. A video of Clinton’s interview with Cooper is below.

Clinton Given Edge in Democratic Debate

Last night, Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders took part in the seventh Democratic Debate. The debate was aired by CNN live from Flint, Michigan. Moderator Anderson Cooper spurred the conversation, which was testy at times between Clinton and Sanders. The first part of the debate focused on the water crisis in Flint, and both candidates called for the resignation of Michigan Governor Rick Snyder.

Sanders and Clinton also discussed a number of topics from the economy and jobs, Wall Street, religion, and foreign policy. A topic of contention for Clinton was Sanders’ vote for a bill in 2009 that would have severely limited the bailout funds for the auto industry. Clinton said, “If everybody had voted as he did I believe the auto industry would have collapsed. You were either for saving the auto industry or you were against it.” This topic is particularly important to Michigan voters as the automotive industry is a major sector of the state’s economy. Overall, the debate was much of the same from the other Democratic debates during which Clinton and Sanders have agreed and disagreed on a number of issues. A video of the debate is below.
