Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton will come stumping in Philadelphia on Wednesday. Clinton is visiting the City of Brotherly Love ahead of the Pennsylvania primary on April 26th. She will address the state via the state AFL-CIO convention in Philadelphia. Afterwards, she will cross the state to Pittsburgh’s Carnegie Mellon University to attend a campaign organization meeting. While other unions across the country have taken a stand and endorsed either Clinton or Senator Bernie Sanders, the AFL-CIO has remained neutral.

Hillary Clinton is quoted here following her Iowa caucus win. Clinton will visit Philadelphia on Wednesday. Clinton is heavily favored to win the Democratic nomination for president, although her competitor, Bernie Sanders, is not backing down.

For candidates from both parties, Pennsylvania represents a juicy prize – the state has 210 delegates. A win here for Clinton would put her even further ahead of her competitor Bernie Sanders. NJ.com reports that “A Franklin & Marshall College poll of 408 registered Democratic voters taken March 14-20 put Clinton ahead of Sanders, 53 percent to 28 percent. The poll had a margin of error of 4.7 percentage points.” Also voting on the 26th will be Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland and Rhode Island, making the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic an area of focus for the entire country. This comes a week after another major deciding state, New York, goes to the polls. New York has 291 delegates and is considered a shoe-in for Clinton, who represented New York in the Senate for eight years. Tomorrow will see Wisconsin’s primary held. Sanders is projected to pull off a narrow win over Clinton in Wisconsin, which sends 96 delegates to the national convention.

This won’t be Clinton’s last stop at Philadelphia before the election… Philadelphia is set to host the Democratic National Convention in July, an event at which Clinton hopes to be declared the Democratic Party’s official presidential candidate.
