HILLARY CLINTON ROOM POST
Tom DiChristopher
Hillary Clinton is finding broad support on the 2016 presidential campaign trail not just among older Democratic voters, but with the young Americans who were instrumental in electing President Barack Obama, the Democratic candidate's campaign manager said Wednesday.
"That coalition of voters that was so strong for Obama, including young people, we're seeing in the polling and as Hillary is out campaigning, they're on board," Robby Mook told CNBC's "Squawk Box."
Voters are looking for a president who will be a champion for everyday people, Mook said. For young voters, that means creating the conditions that will allow them to get a college education without taking on debt and find employment after graduation, he added.

"Clinton has also made a pathway to citizenship a defining issue in the 2016 campaign after a speech on Tuesday in which she voiced support for Obama's executive action to shield immigrants deportation, Mook said. In a speech, Clinton said she favors a route to U.S. citizenship rather than some other legal status."
