NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Former President Bill Clinton is calling on voters in New Orleans to support his wife in the state's upcoming presidential primary.
Clinton spoke Friday to prospective voters in the Crescent City, touting his wife's credentials to a packed house at the Ashé Power House Theater.
Voters go to the polls Saturday in Louisiana to vote for nominees in the Republican and Democratic presidential races.
The former president called his wife the most experienced candidate and said she was the only one that could make changes in Washington.
He promoted her plans to cut debt for college students, modernize the country's ailing infrastructure, tackle the country's heroin epidemic and push for equal pay and paid leave for working women.
Louisiana is preparing to take part in the country's heated presidential primary vote.
Voters go to the polls Saturday to vote for their preferred candidates in the Republican and Democratic primary races.
Candidates were in the state for last-minute campaigning. Donald Trump, riding high off his Super Tuesday success, was planning a rally Friday night in New Orleans. Ted Cruz was also rallying supporters in Mandeville.
The polls open Saturday at 7 a.m. and close at 8 p.m. Only people who are registered Republican or Democrat can vote in their respective primary.
Louisiana is one of five states where primary votes or caucuses are happening Saturday.
