Clinton woos Kentucky voters the day before their primary

(AP) — Kentucky voters pick their favored candidate for president on Tuesday, and Hillary Clinton is making a big, final push for their support.

[...] rival Bernie Sanders hopes to add Kentucky to his string of wins and further delay Clinton's clinching the Democratic presidential nomination.

Big-name surrogates have been sent, television ads are playing and Clinton is touring the state in advance of Tuesday's voting.

With Donald Trump set as the presumptive Republican nominee, those on Clinton's team would like to turn their attention to the general election contest, but they still can't fully make that shift.

Before a cheering crowd in a Fort Mitchell backyard, Clinton pledged to put husband Bill Clinton — who won the state in 1992 and 1996 —"in charge of revitalizing the economy."

Clinton only briefly mentioned Sanders at both events, repeating a critique that he did not vote to fund the auto industry bailout.

The Vermont senator's economic hits on Clinton could benefit Trump, as he seeks to appeal to independent voters.
