On Friday, Bill and Hillary Clinton were on the campaign trail and attended events in three different states. Hillary began by attending a fundraiser event in Boston, Massachusetts hosted by Jeanne and Jonathan Lavine. Then, Hillary attended two events in New Hampshire where she was joined by three Senators: Minnesota’s Amy Klobuchar, Michigan’s Debbie Stabenow and New Hampshire’s Jeanne Shaheen. The group also included Lily Ledbetter and Emily’s List president Stephanie Schriock. The six women called themselves the “sisterhood of the traveling pantsuits” and attended events in Nashua and Manchester where they rallied women voters. They each took time to speak to voters, asking for their support in next week’s primary.

In the evening, Hillary attended the McIntyre-Shaheen 100 Club Dinner where thousands of Democrats packed Verizon Wireless Arena. Bernie Sanders and Hillary both attended the event and spoke to the crowd. Clinton said, “I’m going to compete for every vote here. I’ll answer every question. I’ll work my heart out to earn your support.” The event is important because while Hillary trails Sanders in the polls, nearly one third of those surveyed are still undecided. A video of Hillary’s speech during the event is below.

Meanwhile, Bill was in Las Vegas, Nevada holding a grassroots organizing event. Speaking at the United Brotherhood of Carpenters International Training Center, Bill urged voters of all ages to support Hillary. He framed her a change maker and touted her decades of experience. Bill criticized Sanders’ heath care plan and how starting over with heath care is just not an option. He then turned his attention to millennials, who are Sanders biggest supporters. He sympathized with their anger with the status quo, and said, “I get it — a lot of people are mad. When you’ve lived long enough and you’ve got more yesterdays than tomorrows … what you want is for every single American to be able to walk into a future where you can make your own choices, dream your own dreams and live the future you want.” A video from the event is below.

Today, Hillary is in New Hampshire and Bill will remain in Nevada. For all the latest, follow our revamped Scheduled Events page and follow Clinton on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.

Hillary Rodham Clinton began her Saturday morning by attending a private fundraiser in Davenport, Iowa where she spoke about a wide variety of topics including the recent nuclear agreement with Iran. After leaving Iowa, Clinton returned to a state she knows well, Arkansas. Since her husband, Bill Clinton, was governor of the state, Arkansas has become a Republican strong hold. Clinton’s appearance at the Arkansas Democratic Party’s annual Jefferson-Jackson Dinner in Little Rock was intended to boost the party.

During her speech, Clinton addressed a number of topics including points she made in her economic speech earlier in the week. She also addressed comments made by Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump who questioned the heroism of Senator John McCain, who was held prisoner during his tour of duty in Vietnam. Clinton called Trump’s comments “shameful” defended McCain, who she has called a friend, saying “there’s nothing funny about the hate [Trump] is spewing at immigrants and families — and now the insults he has directed at a genuine war hero, Sen. John McCain.” A video of Clinton’s speech is below (Note: Clinton’s speech begins at the 7:20 mark).
