Hillary began by appearing on a morning radio show called "The Breakfast Club". During the interview, Clinton spoke about a number of her key platform points and the importance of tomorrow's primary in New York. She also was asked to name something that she always carry with her. Her answer was "hot sauce." Watch a video of the full interview HERE to find out why.
Hillary then hosted a Get Out the Vote rally at the Hilton in Manhattan. During her speech, she spoke about her Democratic rival Bernie Sanders and his record on gun control. He voted for a 2005 bill that made gun manufacturers immune from lawsuits if their product was used illegally. She continued, "There are many powerful lobbyists in Washington, as I said in the debate the other night in Brooklyn. I said, look, Senator Sanders talks a lot about the greed and recklessness of Wall Street. But what about the greed and recklessness of the gun manufacturers?" Hillary went on to explain the importance of the 2016 election and asked for voters' support tomorrowTonight, Hillary will appear on CBS's The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
