Clinton adds 'racial justice' tab to website

Stealing the Bern!


Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton's campaign has added a "racial justice" tab to its website as she competes for minority voters in Nevada and South Carolina.

The website's "issues" page includes a rundown of almost 30 issues, including campaign finance reform and healthcare. Before late Tuesday, there was not a specific tab on Clinton's racial justice platform.

However, separate links directed to her positions on issues facing minority communities like criminal justice reform, immigration reform and voting rights. Those issues are now also reflected in the new tab.

Minority voters have become a crucial factor in the tightening race between Clinton and rival Bernie Sanders, who has caught up to her at the polls just days before Saturday's Nevada caucuses.

The former secretary of State had previously relied on her strong leads with minority voters — mainly Hispanics in Nevada and black voters in South Carolina.

While Clinton had previously held major leads in both states, a Wednesday CNN/ORC poll showed the two in essentially a dead heat in Nevada. The numbers did not specify how non-white voters viewed the candidates but suggested Clinton outpolled Sanders with those voters.
