Bill Clinton in Central Florida Stumping for Hillary Clinton

Jake Wellington

During a final campaign stop in central Florida ahead of the primary, former president Bill Clinton reminded voters of the history that could be made this election. He says his wife Hillary is qualified to be the first woman president to lead the country.

In the packed gym of Rollins College in Winter Park Clinton addressed voters - some Hillary fans and others largely undecided about who to support in the primary. The former commander in chief says experience sets his wife apart from other candidates and an ability to bring people together.“This country has been stuck in all these mindless political battles, and I believe it is time to have someone who will stand their ground and find common ground", said Clinton. "She’s the best change maker I’ve ever known. ”

Hillary Clinton today will face Bernie Sanders in Florida’s closely watched democratic primary. Both candidates will fight for the largest share of the state’s 214 delegates. Clinton has won 1235 delegates so far in democratic races in other states. Contender Bernie Sanders trails her with 580.
