Clinton To Hold Get-Out-Vote Event Outside Chicago Today

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is returning to Illinois to campaign ahead of the state's March 15 primary.

Clinton will appear at an event in the Chicago suburb of Vernon Hills.

Her campaign organization says Clinton will discuss her plans to “break down the economic barriers that favor those at the top and build an economy that works for everyone.''

Clinton is coming off a loss Tuesday to Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders in the Michigan primary.

She had an overwhelming victory in Mississippi.

Despite the loss in Michigan, campaign officials say she is moving closer to the number of delegates necessary to win the Democratic presidential nomination.

In addition to Illinois, primaries will be held next Tuesday in Florida, North Carolina, Ohio and Missouri.
