Hillary Clinton will return to California sooner than expected in hopes of strengthening her lead in the state, according to a report from the Washington Post.

Clinton was originally scheduled to spend two days in New Jersey, but the Post reports that Clinton will now only campaign one day in New Jersey before returning to California for five days of events. Polls show the race between Clinton and Sanders tightening. According to a PPIC statewide survey, Clinton’s lead over Sanders shrunk to just two points earlier this month.

While Clinton is still expected to win the Democratic nomination regardless of the outcome in California, losing the Democratic stronghold would show weakness within the Clinton campaign and could make it harder for Clinton to unite her party ahead of the convention in July.

  1. Funny there’s no mention of the KABC/SurveyUSA poll that has her up by 18 points.

  2. Yes, even though both the 2 point Clinton lead poll and the 18 point Clinton lead poll wrapped up their polling on the same day, but were released on different days, which oddly makes some “journalists” think that the 2 point lead poll is the more recent.

  3. Bernie Sanders working on behalf of Donad Trump there is no other conclusion to come to. He is a sore loser.Not a Democrat

  4. Poll show the race between Clinton and Sanders tightening.

    FIFY Lauren.
