Screen Shot 2016-05-17 at 4.58.40 PM

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.

She told the congregation that she believed America is still great, but work needs to be done to “make it whole again.” Clinton then attended services at the Mississippi Boulevard Christian Church where she expressed her confidence in the future saying, “I am very confident, not just hopeful, I am confident that if we start working together again, if we remembered we are the United States of America, if we reject the demagoguery, the prejudice, the paranoia, the mean spiritedness we hear in our public political discourse … America’s best days can still be ahead of us.”

In Nashville, Clinton gave a platform focused stump speech before the state’s primary on Tuesday. She focused on the differences between her and her Democratic rival, Bernie Sanders, although she never mentioned him by name.

Clinton Appears on Live with Kelly and Michael

ABC_clinton_kelly_michael_05_mm_151119_4x3_992

On Thursday morning, Hillary Rodham Clinton appeared on “Live! with Kelly and Michael” where she was interviewed by hosts Kelly Ripa and Michael Strahan. The three of them spoke about the recent terrorist attacks in Paris and ISIS threatening New York City. Clinton was asked if their threats should be taken seriously, and she said, “I think you always have to take them seriously. One thing that you just have to accept is that when they make threats, they may be some distance from being able to deliver on those threats themselves, but they’re hoping that some discontented person or group right here in our country will hear that threat.”

Clinton was also asked about her thoughts on Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, how she was a part of husband and former president Bill Clinton’s administration, and what Clinton’s Thanksgiving plans were. Clips from today’s episode are below.

In the afternoon, Clinton attended a private fundraiser in New York City. Details are not available as the press does not attend private fundraisers.

Clinton also attended the DOC NYC Festival where she introduced the closing film, “MAKERS: Once and For All.” The documentary was produced by AOL and directed by Michael Epstein and Dyllan McGee. The films title is from Clinton’s Bejing speech in 1995, which the films celebrates the 20th anniversary of. Clinton was impressed with the film saying, “I have to say that when Dyllan took on this project, I had no idea what she would find. You will see footage in this film that no one’s ever seen—and I don’t know where she got it.” A trailer for the documentary is below.

On Friday, Clinton will attend a number of events in Kentucky and Tennessee. For all the latest, follow our Scheduled Events page and follow Clinton on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.
