MILWAUKEE, Wis.—Locked in a tough primary fight in Wisconsin, Hillary Clinton is looking to draw a contrast with Bernie Sanders by emphasizing her Democratic bona fides.
Before 1,500 Wisconsin Democratic activists, officials and donors in a Milwaukee ballroom Saturday, the former secretary of state crowed, “I am a proud Democrat and I support Democrats up and down the ticket, always have and always will.”
It was a swipe at Sanders, a longtime independent senator from Vermont who is expected to have a strong showing in the Wisconsin presidential primary Tuesday.
Earlier at the same event, the state Democratic Party’s Founders’ Day dinner, Sanders said: “There is one campaign that has created an enormous amount of energy and enthusiasm. And that is our campaign.”
