On Monday, Bill Clinton campaigned for Hillary Clinton and Tim Kaine at an event in Durham, North Carolina. Bill addressed a crowd of supporters at the Community Family Life and Recreation Center at Lyon Park where he spoke about Hillary’s plans to introduce comprehensive immigration reform and work to make higher education more affordable. “If you go to a public college, a historically black college and university, or any other private college that has a preponderance of middle- and lower-income students … if your (family’s) income is $125,000 a year or less, you get free tuition,” he said. On immigration, Bill spoke about the contribution to the economy made by immigrants and how offering a path to citizenship will benefit to the United States. A video of his speech is below.

Meanwhile, in New York City, Chelsea Clinton attended a fashion show and rooftop party fundraising event at Spring Studios. The event was hosted by Anna Wintour and Huma Abedin and featured a performance by Demi Lovato. In Amsterdam, Holland, a fundraiser was held for American citizens and featured a conversation with Timothy Broas, Former United States Ambassador to the Netherlands.
