Bill Clinton Campaigns in Virgin Islands

On Monday, Bill Clinton held an organizing event in St. Croix, part of the US Virgin Islands. Clinton spoke to supporters in preparation for the territory’s primary on June 4th. He spoke about Hillary’s plan for the United States and how the Virgin Islands and other US Territories will benefit. Clinton said that the Virgin Islands deserves equal treatment when it comes to health care and the economy. US Territories do not enjoy the same benefits as states, nor do they have voting representatives in Congress. Clinton also hinted at his potential role in a Hillary Clinton administration saying, “I’ll do whatever I’m asked to do, but I like this economic business.” A full video from the event will be posted when/if available.

Earlier in the day, Clinton attended a fundraiser in Nashville, Tennessee. The event was held at Adele’s.
