Clinton woos voters with promise of 2-for-1 presidency

Recalling sunnier days of growth, low unemployment and budget surpluses under her husband, Hillary Clinton is telling Americans that Bill Clinton will take the lead on the economy if she wins the White House.

The late 1990s were the last period to see sustained income gains for the typical American household.

[...] his refusal to step up regulation of exotic financial instruments known as derivatives was blamed in large measure for the collapse of the financial sector years later.

[...] his agenda was driven by support for free trade deals, including one that gave China better access to the U.S. market, that are held responsible by elements of both parties for driving jobs out of the country.

[...] facing a two-front fight against Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump, she’s stressing that Bill Clinton would be an asset in her administration, particularly with the kind of Southern white voters who once backed him but now are drawn to Trump.

Clinton leads her rival for the Democratic nomination, Sanders, by nearly 300 pledged delegates going into Tuesday’s primaries in Kentucky and Oregon.
