Last night, Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders took part in a town hall event in Las Vegas, Nevada. The event was moderated by Jose Diaz-Balart and Chuck Todd on MSNBC. While the candidates did not appear on stage together, they did have a lot to say about each other. Clinton suggested that Sanders was not a true Democrat since he has run for the Senate as an Independent. With the town hall being co-hosted by Telemundo, a major topic of discussion was immigration reform. Clinton promised to make immigration a “big political issue” and said that she would build upon President Barack Obama’s executive actions. Other topics discussed included Wall Street, the Supreme Court, LBGT issues, and her plan to secure the Democratic nomination. A video of Clinton’s portion of the town hall is below.

In an episode that featured interviewed with candidates from both parties, Tapper asked Clinton about her record and how she deals with the double standard of treatment as a female candidate. She said, “We are still living with a double standard. I know it. Every woman I know knows it, whether you’re in the media as a woman, or you’re in the professions or business or politics, and I don’t know anything other to do than just keep forging through it, and just keep taking the slings and arrows that comes with being a woman in the arena.” Clinton was also asked about her trip to Flint, Michigan later Sunday afternoon. A video from the interview is above.

Clinton Previews her Climate Policy in Iowa

Yesterday, Clinton kicked off a three-day visit to Iowa by attending a campaign event in Winterset, Iowa where she spoke with supporters then answered questions from reporters. A number of questions were about allegations that Clinton sent and received classified information on her private email server as Secretary of State and a possible investigation by the Department of Justice. She denies the claims saying, “I am confident I never sent nor received any information that was classified at the time it was sent and received. What I think you’re seeing is a very typical kind of discussion to some extent, disagreement among various parts of the government over what should or what should not be publicly released.”

On Saturday, Clinton also gave a speech and answered questions at an event at Beaverdale. A video from this event is posted above.

Today, Clinton gave a speech in Ames at an organizing event where she previewed her plans to combat climate change and her commitment to clean energy. Tomorrow, Clinton will provide full details of her plan in a speech in Des Moines. In her preview, Clinton took the opportunity to criticize the Republican presidential candidates who deny climate change is a reality saying, “Those people on the other side, they will answer any question about climate change by saying I’m not a scientist. I’m not a scientist either—I’m just a grandmother with two eyes and a brain…I know that if we start addressing it, we’re going to actually be creating jobs and new businesses.”

A video from today’s speech will be posted when/if it becomes available. Until then, watch the video released by the Clinton campaign about climate change.
