Hillary Clinton hopes that a win over Bernie Sanders in Kentucky Tuesday will go a long way towards her efforts of unifying the Democratic party before its convention.
Sanders is expected to win in Oregon, but the Clinton campaign sees an opportunity in Kentucky, a state she carried easily in her primary campaign eight years ago.
In order to appeal to the working-class, white voters, which Republican rival Donald Trump has all but won over, Clinton made several stops in Kentucky, including drop-ins at churches over the weekend.
Despite an earlier decision to shift resources to general election swing states, the campaign is running television ads in the Bluegrass State.
Clinton holds a substantial lead over Sanders by nearly 300 pledged delegates and when superdelegates — elected officials and party leaders free to support either candidate — are factored in, she stands 150 delegates shy of the 2,383 needed to clinch the Democratic nomination.
