KEENE, N.H. (AP) – Bill Clinton is back on the presidential campaign trail – and so is his baggage.
For months, the former president has largely stayed out of the 2016 race, mentioned mostly in passing by Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton. On Monday, he heads out for his first solo campaign events, with stops planned in New Hampshire – a key primary state that gave much-needed momentum to his struggling 1992 presidential bid.
He’ll do so after days of attacks over his impeachment and decades-old sex scandals from Republican front-runner Donald Trump.
So far, Bill Clinton has remained mum about Trump’s slams – following the lead of his wife’s campaign, which believes their candidate comes across as more presidential by rising above what they see as the Republican’s crass political tactics.
But the attacks seem to have struck a nerve.
