Former President Bill Clinton took the stage to campaign for his wife and Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton a little after 6 p.m. at Clark College in Vancouver. The president joked about being late due to rush-hour traffic on Interstate 5 from Portland before speaking for about an hour on topics ranging from Hillary Clinton’s Republican and Democratic opponents and economics to education and the environment.

Washington Gov. Jay Inslee, who said he’s known Hillary Clinton since 1992, introduced Bill Clinton to a packed student union at Clark College. “We’re going to elect Hillary Clinton the next president of the United States.”

Clinton, who sounded like he was losing his voice but still drew laughs and cheers from the enthusiastic crowd, immediately implored people to turn out for the caucuses on Saturday.

The audience at the community college was enthusiastic when Bill Clinton addressed the cost of education.

“We should have a system where every person can graduate (college) completely debt free,” he said of Hillary Clinton’s education plans. “Did you know college loans are the only loans you can’t refinance?”
