PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — Bernie Sanders’ campaign criticized Hillary Clinton Tuesday, a day after she joined New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo at a rally celebrating the state’s enactment of a $15 minimum wage law.

Clinton, who has embraced plans for a $12 federal minimum wage in her own presidential campaign, predicted New York’s law will spark a movement that “is going to sweep our country.”

“It started with a movement, the Fight for $15,” Clinton said. “What the governor did shows the way to getting an increased minimum wage at the federal level.”

But Clinton’s campaign platform for a $12 federal minimum wage puts her at odds with the Fight for $15 coalition, which is rallying for a $15 standard across the nation.

Her platform supports increasing the federal minimum wage to $12, with flexible terms that could allow certain states and cities to move higher in the future.

She argues that a $15 minimum wage may be too high for smaller, rural areas.

Under New York’s law, the minimum wage in New York City will reach $15 by the end of 2018. On Long Island and in Westchester County, that won’t happen until the end of 2021. The minimum wage in the rest of the state will go up to $12.50 by 2020.

Sanders’ campaign manager Jeff Weaver accused Clinton of not being “sincere” in her support of New York’s $15 minimum wage law at Monday’s Manhattan rally.

“The truth of the matter is that Secretary Clinton has not supported a $15 national minimum wage,” Weaver told CNN’s New Day on Tuesday. “That’s a position that Senator Sanders has advocated from the beginning of this campaign.”

Although Sanders and Clinton have been rallying for different federal minimum wage hikes, both of their proposals would be phased in over a period of 5 years.

Los Angeles, Seattle and other cities recently approved $15 minimum wages. Oregon approved an increase to $14.75 in cities and $12.50 in rural areas by 2022.The Associated Press contributed to this report
