The former First Lady benefits from strong support among woman, as she has a 59 percent to 32 percent advantage over Sanders among female voters.
Clinton campaign workers gathered names and contact information from people who attended the rally, many of whom stood in the balcony and in the back of the room after all the seats were filled.
Her presidency would invest in early childhood education, she said, and help craft a plan to help young Americans deal with student debt.
