MILWAUKEE—After an overwhelming loss in New Hampshire, Hillary Clinton is staking a campaign comeback on her ability to woo black and Latino voters, placing outreach to those communities at the center of her strategy to retool her 2016 bid.
The 22-point loss to rival Bernie Sanders in this week’s primary heightened concerns among Democrats that Clinton’s message is failing to win over both women and young voters—two key parts of the coalition that twice elected Barack Obama to the White House.
The New Hampshire defeat, along with Clinton’s razor-thin win in the leadoff Iowa caucuses, raised the stakes for Clinton to rally minority voters—another pillar of the Obama coalition—in the contests coming up in Nevada and South Carolina.
Clinton's campaign plans to cast her as a stalwart advocate for racial justice.
