LOUISVILLE, Kentucky (AP) – Hillary Clinton has kicked off a campaign swing through Kentucky, where rival Bernie Sanders hopes to extend his winning streak and further delay her clinching the Democratic presidential nomination.
At St. Stephen’s Church in Louisville, Clinton appealed to the congregation for support, saying she hoped to have “the opportunity to serve you as your president.”
Clinton holds a large lead among delegates going into Tuesday’s primaries in Kentucky and Oregon. But Sanders keeps winning primary contests and has pledged to stay in the race until the July convention.
Clinton is campaigning hard in Kentucky and spending money on television ads. She plans events around the state through Monday.
