On Saturday night, Hillary Clinton, Senator Bernie Sanders, and Martin O’Malley appeared on stage at St. Anselm College in New Hampshire for the third Democratic primary debate. The primary topic of the evening was foreign policy, a strength for former Secretary of State Clinton. Before getting into the debate, Sanders took a moment to apologize to Clinton for his staffers accessing the Clinton campaign’s proprietary voter data. It was revealed this week that Sanders’ staffers found and downloaded campaign data that should have been protected. The DNC has acted swiftly barring the Sanders campaign from accessing voter databases. Clinton’s campaign has been careful to respond, though her staffers and supporters have gone after the Sanders campaign. Clinton thanked Sanders for his apology and said, “Now that, I think, you know, we’ve resolved your data, we’ve agreed on an independent inquiry, we should move on, because I don’t think the American people are all that interested in this.”

The moderators, ABC’s David Muir and Martha Raddatz, then asked the candidates about a variety of topics, including a few domestic questions about taxes, health care, and gun control. But the focus of the ABC debate was foreign policy. Clinton and Sanders debated the removal of Muammar Gaddafi in Libya in 2011and the power vacuum that followed. Sanders argued that the chaos was predictable, but Clinton reminded Sanders that he voted for the Senate resolution calling for Gaddafi’s removal and the intervention of the United Nations. On the foreign policy front, the candidates also discussed ISIS, terrorism, and a number of other topics. As with previous debates, the three candidates were careful about going after each other. Clinton only attacked when provoked, and she focused her criticism on Republicans, particularly Donald Trump. It was clear that Clinton is planning for the general election. A full video of the debate is below.

The event was moderated by Rachel Maddow and the other Democratic contenders, Bernie Sanders and Martin O’Malley, took part as well. During the conversation between Maddow and Clinton, they discussed a number of topics including the death penalty, foreign policy, her Republican opponents, Wall Street, and she was even asked which Republican candidate she would choose as her Vice President if she had to pick one.

Clinton Speaks at Grover Cleveland Dinner in NH

On Wednesday, Hillary Rodham Clinton returned to New Hampshire where she began her day by attending a Politics and Eggs breakfast in Manchester. Clinton gave a speech before taking questions from those in attendance. Clinton spoke about a number of topics, but one of her comments has made headlines. She is against completely abolishing the death penalty, something that her Democratic opponents Bernie Sanders and Martin O’Malley support. She said, “We have a lot of evidence now that the death penalty has been too frequently applied, and too often in a discriminatory way. So I think we have to take a hard look at it. I do not favor abolishing it, however, because I do think there are certain egregious cases that still deserve the consideration of the death penalty, but I’d like to see those be very limited and rare, as opposed to what we’ve seen in most states.” A video from the event will be posted when/if available.

After making a stop at Moulton Farm in Meredith, Clinton attended the Grover Cleveland Dinner in Bartlett for an event hosted by the Democratic Committee for Carroll County. During Clinton’s speech, she spoke about her political platform and plans as president. Clinton has been criticized for comments she made about the issues in Department of Veterans Affairs not being as widespread as everyone thinks. Clinton backpedaled saying that there is a problem, she said, “I will not let the Republicans use the problem as an excuse to privatize the VA.” A video of her speech is below.

Clinton Rallies in Iowa

On Saturday, Hillary Rodham Clinton attended two major events in Iowa. The first was a rally at which former President Bill Clinton briefly stumped for his wife before turning the stage over to singer Katy Perry. The former president spoke about his wife’s honesty and trustworthy qualities. Following his remarks, Perry took the stage and sang a number of songs, including “Roar,” a tune that has been played at a number of rallies for Clinton. Before the end of the rally, Hillary Clinton took to the stage and thanked everybody for coming out and thanked Perry and her husband firing up the crowd. A video of former President Clinton’s speech is below.

Last night, Clinton attended a different kind of rally at the Iowa Democratic Party’s Jefferson-Jackson Dinner. Clinton shared the stage with her 2016 Democratic opponents Bernie Sanders and Martin O’Malley, but she took the opportunity to rally Iowa Democrats to support her. She spoke about a number of key points of her platform including race relations, gun control, and women’s rights. The speech was familiar, but the crowd was energized and Clinton was poised following a string of successes in October. Clinton said, “I’m listening to you, I’m fighting for you, and with your support, Iowa, I’m going to deliver. And together, we’re going to build an America where there are no ceilings for anyone, where no one gets left behind or left out, and yes, where a father can tell his daughter, you can be anything you want to be, including President of the United States of America!” A video of Clinton’s speech is below.

Tomorrow is Clinton’s birthday, and she is scheduled to attend a fundraiser and birthday celebration today. For all the latest, follow our Scheduled Events page and follow Clinton on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.
