Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton on Saturday said her campaign is about more than just Wall Street, in a subtle push against rival Bernie Sanders.
Clinton said of issues like racism and sexism, “that is not about Wall Street, that is about ideology.”
{mosads}Speaking to supporters in Concord, N.H., on Saturday, she sought to place an emphasis on her record on social issues.
Clinton pushed back against the notion that she would favor the financial industry, asking “Why would they be running $6 million in ads against me” if they wanted her to win.
In recent weeks, Sanders has sought to link Clinton to special interests.
“What being part of the establishment is, last quarter, having a super-PAC that raised $15 million from Wall Street, that throughout one’s life raised a whole lot of money from the drug companies and other special interests,” Sanders said during Thursday’s presidential debate.
Clinton also pledged to battle problems that hurt families, such as Alzheimer’s and drug addiction.
“We will rise by taking on these problems that keep people up at night,” she said.
