Bernie Sanders is getting out the vote at New Hampshire colleges this week
Chelsea Clinton is also set to visit some Granite State college towns.
Hillary Clinton’s daughter and former primary foe will both be visiting New Hampshire this week on her behalf.
The latter, Bernie Sanders, will visit two colleges in the state Tuesday for “get out the vote” rallies in support of Clinton and Maggie Hassan, New Hampshire’s Democratic governor and candidate for U.S. Senate.
Sanders, who is quite popular among the youths, has a tightly scheduled Tuesday afternoon. The Vermont senator will first speak at a noon rally at Plymouth State University, followed shortly thereafter by a 2:30 p.m. rally roughly an hour away at Dartmouth College in Hanover.
Colleges have been a theme in Sanders’s efforts to drum up support for Clinton. Late last month, the two campaigned together at the University of New Hampshire in Durham to highlight the Democratic presidential nominee’s plan make college tuition-free for families making $125,000 or less annually.
According to the Clinton campaign, Sanders will hit on the issue of tuition-free college, among other aspects of his progressive agenda, in his speeches Tuesday.
Chelsea Clinton, the former (and potentially again) First Daughter, is also set to return to the Granite State, less than a week after she spoke at local Democrats’ annual fundraiser dinner.
Clinton will stump for her mother Friday afternoon at “get out the vote” events in Keene and Hanover, both of are Democratic strongholds with sizable student populations. Details on the exact time and location of the events will be available in the near future, according to the Clinton campaign.
Recent New Hampshire polls have consistently showed Clinton leading Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump in the state by mid to high single-digit margins.
