Former President Bill Clinton expressed optimism about the Democratic Party's polling prospects in Arizona during a campaign event for Vice President Kamala Harris in Phoenix. Clinton noted that, based on his analysis of polling data, Democrats are in a favorable position in the Grand Canyon State compared to other traditionally Democratic-leaning states.
Clinton, who was the first Democratic presidential nominee to win Arizona since 1948, highlighted the state's increasing diversity and empowerment of its residents as factors that could contribute to a Democratic victory in the upcoming election.
During the event, Clinton emphasized the importance of offering clear solutions to address the challenges facing the country, contrasting it with what he described as attempts to blame others for problems. He endorsed Vice President Harris as a strong choice for voters, poking fun at former President Trump and his running mate for avoiding a debate with Harris and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz.
Joining Clinton at the event were Susan Rice, former US ambassador to the United Nations, and Harris' brother-in-law Tony West. The gathering of local Black leaders in Phoenix showcased the Democratic Party's efforts to engage with diverse communities and build support for the upcoming election.
