Chelsea Clinton Campaigning For Mom In Twin Cities

MINNEAPOLIS (AP/WCCO) -- As Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders battle ahead of the New Hampshire primary, Clinton's daughter Chelsea urged voters in Minnesota to consider her mother's record on key issues, including expanded health care, women's reproductive rights and equal pay.

Chelsea Clinton says the presidential election will be the most important one in her lifetime because the next commander-in-chief will have a fundamental role in shaping the country and the world for her 16-month-old daughter and her baby due this summer.
