Bill Clinton backs U.S. Rep. Childers in congressional race
OXFORD — Former President Bill Clinton says young people will be committing “malpractice” if they sit out the midterm elections and let Republicans win this fall.
The former president said Thursday that young people need to turn out and vote for Democrats in congressional races. He said the party has worked to create jobs and make student loans more affordable during the tough economy.
“You’re committing malpractice if you sit this election out,” Clinton told about 2,000 people at the University of Mississippi, where he stumped to get out the Democratic vote.
U.S. Rep. Travis Childers, a north Mississippi Democrat, is in a tight re-election race in north Mississippi’s 1st Congressional District.
