Today, Clinton was also interviewed by Andrea Mitchell on MSNBC. During the interview, Clinton said that she is focused on the general election and campaigning against Republican front runner Donald Trump. She said, “I think that’s where we have to be, because we’re going to have a tough campaign against a candidate who will literally say or do anything. And we’re going to take him on at every turn on what’s really important to the people of our country.” Mitchell asked Clinton questions about a number of other topics including her Democratic opponent Bernie Sanders, the protesters she encountered in West Virginia, the continued FBI investigation into her email, and her speeches to Goldman Sachs.

On the final weekend before the New Hampshire primary, Bill Clinton attended Get Out the Vote events in Keene and Milford. During each of the events, he spoke about his wife’s experience and unique qualifications that make her one the best qualified candidates running. Then, Clinton went after Hillary’s Democratic rival Bernie Sanders, although, he never mentioned him by name. He said, “Hillary’s opponent has a different view. It’s a hermetically sealed box. It’s very effective. The system is rigged against you by the big banks, and both parties are in the thrall of the big banks. Anybody who takes money from Goldman Sachs couldn’t possibly be president.” Videos from today’s events will be posted when/if available.

Tomorrow, Bill, Chelsea, and Hillary will attend events across the state. For all the latest, follow our revamped Scheduled Events page and follow Clinton on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.
