Bill Clinton, Madeline Albright Campaign for Hillary

On Wednesday, former President Bill Clinton was in Virginia where he spoke at two events. The first was a Get Out the Vote event in Alexandria. During his speech, Clinton spoke about his wife’s experience with breaking down barriers and how she will fight for everybody if elected president. He urged Virginia voters to get out and support Hillary in next Tuesday’s Primary. A full video from his speech will be posted when/if available.

Wrapping up the evening, Clinton hosted a Get out the Vote event in Richmond. During his speech at the Hippodrome, he spoke about Hillary’s plans as president and the primary difference between her and her Republican rivals. He said, “Hillary is running for president to put every American in the picture. She wants to run to make America whole again. Instead of building walls, she wants to tear down barriers.” He urged voters to support Hillary in next week’s primary saying, “We need to win Virginia. We need every vote in Virginia.” A video from the event will be posted when/if available.

Also campaigning on behalf of Hillary for America was former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright. She attended two fundraisers in Texas. The first was at the home of Azra Rauf in Houston. The second fundraiser was held in Austin. Meanwhile, in Little Rock, Arkansas, Senior Policy Advisor Ann O’Leary hosted a fundraiser conversation.

Tomorrow, Albright will remain in Texas for an additional fundraiser. For all the latest, follow our revamped Scheduled Events page and follow Clinton on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.

Hillary Goes to the Ground Game in New Hampshire

On Saturday, Hillary Clinton remained in New Hampshire where she attended a number of Get Out the Vote rallies, but Clinton also took the ground and knocked on doors in Manchester. She stopped at a number of houses and visited with local residents. Clinton is behind in the New Hampshire primary polls, but she has not given up on the state. In addition to her efforts, a number of other politicians were in the state campaigning on her behalf including former Secretary of State Madeleline Albright, Senator Al Franken, and Senator Cory Booker.

Clinton attended three rallies in New Hampshire on Saturday. The events in Concord and Portsmouth were typical events during which Clinton spoke to the crowd before taking questions from the audience. However, the event she held at New England College in Henniker was different in that the campaign challenged Bernie Sanders supports to attend the town hall event. She was asked tough questions about her ties to Wall Street, and she was able to defend herself in person. It was an interesting strategy that might earn her some respect and support. A video from her event in Portsmouth is below.

Today, Hillary will be on CNN’s State of the Union and will hold a community event in Flint, Michigan. For all the latest, follow our revamped Scheduled Events page and follow Clinton on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.
