WASHINGTON (AP) – The Latest on Campaign 2016 two days before voters in Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Delaware and Maryland cast votes for their presidential nominees (all times Eastern Daylight Time):

1:20 p.m.

Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders is urging Hillary Clinton to join him in support of a tax on carbon emissions to curb climate change and support universal health care.

Sanders is addressing more than 7,000 people at a Providence, Rhode Island, park ahead of the state’s primary on Tuesday.

Sanders says if the former secretary of state is “concerned about climate change” she should join him in pushing for a tax on carbon.
