On Wednesday, Hillary Clinton appeared on The Ellen DeGenerous Show. During the interview, DeGenerous and Clinton spoke about Clinton’s presidential campaign, her primary rival Bernie Sanders, and her likely Republican rival Donald Trump. Not all of the interview was serious, however. DeGenerous presented Clinton with a game where she was shown a picture of two people and had to choose one of them to be her Vice Presidential running mate. A number of people appeared on the list including Sanders, Vice President Joe Biden, First Lady Michelle Obama, and DeGenerous herself. Clips from the episode are below.

The primary purpose of the day for Clinton was to celebrate organized labor by attending a number of celebrations across the state. The topics that she focused on were income inequity, the minimum wage, and unions’ rights to collectively bargain. She addressed the Hawkeye Labor Council AFL-CIO Labor Day picnic in Cedar Rapids before heading to the Quad Cities area of Iowa and Illinois.
