Bill Clinton Wraps Up Campaign Swing In New Mexico

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — Former President Bill Clinton has wrapped up a two-day swing in New Mexico with a low-key rally at a packed Albuquerque community center.

Clinton told the crowd Wednesday that his wife, Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton, plans to address income equality and college debt and bring back manufacturing jobs to the United States.

He also made a pitch to the working class, saying he understands their frustrations and that his wife doesn't want to leave anyone behind.

Clinton's visit comes days after Democratic rival Bernie Sanders drew thousands to rallies in Santa Fe, Albuquerque and southern New Mexico.

Though Hillary Clinton hasn't campaigned in New Mexico, her team has opened offices in Albuquerque, Santa Fe, Las Cruces and Las Vegas.

New Mexico's primary election is June 7.
