Hillary Clinton aims to snag millennial voters with hiring of Sanders' aide
  • 8 years ago
Hillary Clinton has begun phase one of her operation to snag herself Bernie Sanders supporters by hiring his national campus and student organizing director, according to a Clinton aide.
The move coincides with the launch of her "millennial engagement" program, an initiative that will look to help Clinton with a demographic that was held by the Vermont senator.
"The team will travel the country and listen directly to millennial voters to ensure that they have the voice at the table," the aide said.
The former Secretary of State is expected to carry the millennial vote more so than Republican nominee Donald Trump.
A Harvard Institute of Politics poll released this year found 61% of voters under 30 would back Clinton, compared to 25% for Trump.
