CNN – Article & Exclusive Interview By Claire Evren
Hillary Clinton has built a clear lead in the Democratic nominating contest.
Hillary Clinton began to look ahead from her significant Super Tuesday wins, celebrating what she called a day for the “history books”
Clinton won seven states on Super Tuesday, including Massachusetts, a state Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders eyed as a possible pickup. At her first rally since the Tuesday victories, Clinton began to speak like a candidate focused on Republicans rather than her Democratic opponent.
“The stakes in this election has never been higher and the rhetoric from the other side has never been lower,” Clinton said.
“So we have work to do, my friends. But not to make America great again, America never stopped being great. We have to make America whole. Instead of building walls, we have to break down barriers that are holding back families and our country.”
Clinton added, “Our campaign went nationwide. People in every corner of the country came out to support the future we are building together and we could not have done it without labor.”
“I am not going to over promise. I am going to tell you what I can do and then we will work together,” Clinton said. “As long as you are fighting for working families in America, I will be in the trenches fighting alongside of you.”
So Clinton, increasingly confident that she’ll be the Democratic nominee, is turning her attention more and more to Republican frontrunner Donald Trump.
There’s just one problem. Sanders isn’t going anywhere.
“All the pundits are calling the race for Clinton. That means we’re probably going to win in a landslide,” Sanders said at a rally Wednesday in Portland, Maine.
Clinton is looking for ways to bridge her party’s divide and bring Sanders’ supporters into her fold ahead of a general election in which she’ll need young voters and liberals to turn out in force.
“I congratulate Senator Sanders on his strong showing and campaigning and I am grateful to all of you who have voted for me,”
