Bill Clinton Campaigning For Hillary Clinton In N.D.

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — Former President Bill Clinton touted Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton's experience as a U.S. senator and secretary of state in exhorting South Dakotans to vote for her in the state's June 7 primary.

Clinton rallied about 350 people in Sioux Falls on Friday, tallying his wife's credentials and noting her support for farmers and tribal sovereignty.

Clinton also said the former first lady is committed to creating jobs in manufacturing and small business, with extra investments in rural America. Bill Clinton was also set to attend a fundraiser in the city after the rally.

Hillary Clinton is competing with U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders for the Democratic nomination to run against presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump.
