Chelsea Clinton engages in rare gaggle with reporters

Clinton was expected to speak around noon at the Jack S. Brayboy Gymnasium at JCSU, but arrived closer to 1 p.m. due to a disabled plane on the runway.

Hillary Clinton used a campaign stop in Charlotte today to slam a recently overturned state law that put new requirements on voters and limited early voting.

Also taking aim at North Carolina’s HB2 “bathroom” bill, Clinton said that discrimination is wrong and bad for business.

Requiring voter identification was the most noted provision of changes the state General Assembly made to North Carolina’s voting laws after Republicans gained a majority in legislature in 2011. “One thing you can do is change your governor”, she said. Clinton asked. “Get out and vote and make it clear we’re not putting up with that!”.

The crowd sounded like they were happy with what they were hearing.

“Of course there were no discussions of any of the covert actions in process, being determined whether or not to go forward”, Clinton said about emails that were scrutinized by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Some of those Republicans will join Clinton Friday for what she dubbed a “working session” on the threat of terrorism.

Your Local Election Headquarters was in Scranton as former first daughter Chelsea Clinton held a rally in support of her mother. She was not interested, she said, in “just making political happy talk”. This weekend is the anniversary of September 11.

“It matters that she has a record of finding allies and building alliances wherever, whenever possible to actually deliver for our country and our future”, Clinton said. And for the first time, he opened the door to granting legal status to people living in the US illegally who join the military.

Chelsea Clinton was supposed to speak just after noon but was almost an hour late. But to overcome Trump’s votes in other parts of the state, she will need enthusiasm from the young voters in Thursday’s audience at the university that, she reminded everyone, her husband had visited this year. “And help students succeed so I can keep her at her word when she wins”.

While she only spoke for seven minutes, Chelsea Clinton spent much longer posing for pictures. The FBI has said she was “extremely careless” in handling sensitive information.

Outside the gym, there were several stations where people could register to vote and buy Clinton paraphernalia.

After her appearance at the forum, moderated by NBC’s Matt Lauer, Reince Priebus, the chairman of the Republican National Committee, wrote on Twitter that Clinton had appeared “angry + defensive the entire time”.
