Clinton Targets College-Educated Whites in Bid for Swing States

Hillary Clinton’s path to the White House relies on reassembling the winning Obama coalition of minority voters and women, but her campaign is vying for a demographic long out of reach for Democrats—college-educated whites—that could reshape the map of U.S. swing states this year.

The 2016 presidential election is turning that dynamic on its head. CONT.
