Shes with her husband and daughter making several stops able to pull off an upset when. Fox 25s sharmann saccheti caught up with secretary clinton oneonone on the eve of the New Hampshire primary. Sharmann secretary clinton is campaigning with her family in an effort to help pull support from Bernie Sanders. I talked with her today about Bernie Sanders of other corporate donations and why she hasnt yet received elizabeth warns endorsement. I began my oneonone interview with a simple question how is it that Bernie Sanders is ahead by double digits in New Hampshire . How is it that a socialist could even be within striking distance of you let alone being in you. While i dont know whats going to happen tomorrow but im going to keep working as hard as i can to try to convince as money people to come out and vote for me. Attribute it to geography but sanders has been successfully letting criticism for campaign that Hillary Clinton has excepted from financial giants calling it into question of tough shall be on wall street. Lets take resident obama he took a lot of money from wall street 2008. We asked her about it she called it at unfair accusations leveled by sanders. Why should anyone believe you would be influence by some of the money your campaign is accepted that you proceed from goldman sachs. Such a funny for him to make because every democrat just about including him has taken money from financial interest in there is that would disqualify everyone. Sanders message is resonating in much the same way that Elizabeth Warren has been just days ago secretary clinton but on stage here in New Hampshire with democratic female senators one was missing. You want elizabeth warns endorsement. I want everybodys endorsement and i was very pleased when she signed a letter with all the other Democratic Women senators urging me to run but you know she got a lot of responsibilities and. Why wasnt she there . Well you have to ask her. And i did. I did reach out to elizabeth warns in her office has yet gotten back to me. At six i did ask clinton if voters dismiss the fact that shes under fbi investigation what she says about that and if she is being unfairly judged because shes a woman. Also democratic Bernie Sanders choosing not to respond to the Clinton Campaign allegations of sexist attacks over the weekend. He talked to supporters in nashua early today and it get out the vote rally stuck to his message mostly no doubt hoping to avoid any missteps that could undermine his lead in the polls but coming up in the next half hour going to be hitting the campaign trail.
