Hillary Clinton is church-hopping across Memphis in an effort to mobilize African-American voters ahead of Tuesday’s primaries.
She’s speaking at two churches in the city Sunday and asking worshipers to reject “the demagoguery, the prejudice, the paranoia.” She never mentions GOP front-runner Donald Trump’s name, but the comments references his campaign slogan, “Make America Great Again.”
“America has never stopped being great, our task is to make American whole,” says Clinton at Greater Imani Cathedral of Faith.
With rival Bernie Sanders trailing in delegates, Clinton is beginning to focus more attention on her potential GOP challengers. Her church addresses, like her South Carolina victory speech, makes no mention of the Vermont senator, or his policy plans.
Clinton is trying to rally black voters ahead of the Super Tuesday contests, which take place in a number of southern states. Black voters turned out in a higher percentage in South Carolina on Saturday than in 2008, catapulting Clinton a sweeping win there.
