PURCHASE, N.Y. -- Ahead of her scheduled visit to Syracuse, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton spent the day campaigning in Westchester County.

Clinton spoke to supporters at SUNY Purchase College, where she was briefly interrupted by shouts of "She wins we lose."

"I know the Bernie people came to say that. We're very sorry you're leaving," Clinton replied while her supporters chanted and cheered. "As they're leaving, I want to say I have earned 9 million votes this election already. I have 1 million more votes than Donald Trump, and I have 2 1/2 million more votes than Bernie Sanders."

With three weeks until New York's primary, Clinton has ramped up her Empire State campaign. A recent poll from Siena College shows she holds a significant lead over her opponent, U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont. Sanders, however, is planning to aggressively campaign in New York as well.

Clinton's campaign stops in Syracuse for two events on Friday.

Clinton will speak with small business owners during a manufacturing roundtable at 11:45 a.m. tomorrow followed by a public organizing event at 2 p.m. at the Regional Market.

In her stump speech at Purchase today, Clinton spoke about plans to bring jobs to New York and commended Gov. Andrew Cuomo for his efforts to raise the minimum wage. She demanded equal pay for women in the workforce and spoke about student debt and college tuition.

Clinton criticized Sanders' plan to offer free college tuition, but stressed the need to reduce the cost of public universities and minimize student loan interest rates.

"I don't believe we should be paying for free college for Donald Trump's grandkids," she said.
