ATLANTA — Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is in the state Capitol today for a meet-and-greet with lawmakers, augmenting a larger gathering that was shifted from Georgia State University to Atlanta City Hall late last night.
It's the last day of early voting before the primary.
Clinton spoke in South Carolina Thursday night.
Some supporters were unware of the venue change.
“I would have never known unless y’all said something. I would have been waiting here forever,” Rickie Etienne said.
The Clinton campaign told Channel 2’s Dave Huddleston they moved the venue to City Hall for security reasons. Officials say anyone can rent out City Hall.
Hundreds in attendance heard Clinton say she wants to increase the minimum wage and expand the Affordable Care Act.
“And make sure the progress President Obama has made is secure, is defended and we go even further, because he has built a good foundation for us to stand on,” she said.
Clinton also said she wants to knock down the barriers that stand in the way of American’s reaching their potential.
“And I think it’s way past time for us to guarantee equal pay for woman’s work, don’t you think,” she said.
Channel 2 Action News visited her Georgia campaign headquarters in southwest Atlanta where volunteers worked the phones encouraging people to vote.
"If they're not going to early vote, we’re asking them to come out for Super Tuesday and definitely make sure they get out and vote,” said volunteer Yvonne Gamble.
Senator Bernie Sanders spent Thursday in Flint Michigan where residents are facing a water crisis.
This weekend, two GOP presidential candidates will be in Georgia.
Florida Sen. Marco Rubio will hold a campaign rally at Mount Paran Christian School in Kennesaw on Saturday at 12:30 p.m.
Texas Sen. Ted Cruz is also set to visit Georgia on Saturday, with a campaign stop likely at Liberty Plaza in downtown Atlanta.
Donald Trump will return on Monday, headlining a rally at Valdosta State University.
