Bill Clinton Campaigns for Hillary/Kaine in Michigan and Ohio

On Labor Day, Bill Clinton returned to the campaign trail for Hillary Clinton and Time Kaine attending Labor Day events in Michigan and Ohio. He began in Detroit where he took part in a Labor Day parade and spoke to a crowd of supporters at a United Auto Workers (UAW) picnic. Bill spoke about Hillary’s plans to increase job growth and continue to invest in the economy by improving the country’s infrastructure. He said that Hillary’s plans would return the country to a similar condition in which he left it at the end of his presidency. He promised that incomes will rise across the board and an increase in jobs saying that during his presidency, “We had 22.7 million new jobs in those eight years. We had 40% more jobs in my eight years than Ronald Reagan did.” A video from the Detroit event will be added when/if available.

In Cincinnati, Ohio Bill visited with patrons of Graeter’s Ice Cream before giving a speech at the annual AFL-CIO Labor Day Picnic. Bill spoke about the importance of labor and labor unions saying that Hillary would fully support unionization as president. He then spoke about a number of Hillary’s platform proposals before asking attendees to support her in November. He said, “You should vote for the person who will be best for you, your community, your family. I think you should vote for Hillary because we’re stronger together than stronger apart.” A video of Bill’s speech is below.

Bill Clinton Campaigns for Hillary in West Virginia

On Sunday, Bill Clinton campaigned on behalf of Hillary Clinton in West Virginia. Some of Hillary’s comments about coal, a chief employment sector in the state, have been met with resistance. When Bill arrived in Logan for his first event, he was met by protestors in addition to supporters. He responded to the boos and protesters by explaining the detail of Hillary’s plan to help boost coal dependent communities, and he said, “I wanted to come here and tell you that I care about what you’re going through. I get it and I think that we can do something about it, that’s the most important thing.” Bill went on to say that Hillary cares about the Appalachian communities and it is her experience that will serve them well.

Bill’s second stop in the state was in the capital city of Charleston. He was met by an enthusiastic crowd and he focused on a wider variety of Hillary’s campaign platform points including health care, student loan debt, and the current drug epidemic. He said that Hillary has experience working with both sides of the aisle in Congress on a number of issues, and that the drug epidemic should be taken seriously by both parties. He said, “This could give us the chance to start working together as one America again because this [drug] problem is an equal opportunity killer. It’s killing Republicans and Democrats alike. We are close to having a real consensus in the Congress to do something about this together.” Videos from today’s events will be posted when/if available.

A Hillary for America fundraiser was held today in Artesia, California. Those attending the event held at the East West Ice Palace had an opportunity to ice skate with Olympic medalist Michelle Kwan.
