TRENTON — Former President Bill Clinton is coming to New Jersey Friday for a pair of public events to support Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign.

Clinton, who twice won the Garden State in general elections, is scheduled to host get out the vote events in Ewing and Passaic County.

He's visiting the state the same day the Clintons' daughter, Chelsea Clinton, will campaign for her mother in Essex and Middlesex counties.

And it will come two days after Hillary Clinton herself is scheduled to hold an event at Camden County College on Wednesday.

Bill Clinton will discuss his wife's plans to "raise wages and break down the barriers that hold too many New Jerseyans back," according to her campaign. Specific details on the events have not yet been released.

.....................

But the Clinton events come days after the other candidate for the Democratic nomination, U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders, held a pair of rallies in the state on Sunday and Monday.

Wednesday's event will be Hillary Clinton's first public rally in New Jersey since launching her presidential bid.

Hillary Clinton holds 60 percent of Democratic voters in the state while Sanders' support lags at 32 percent, according to a Monmouth University Poll released on Wednesday.

Clinton, the former U.S. secretary of state and senator from New York, leads the race for the Democratic nod. The nominee ultimately needs to win 2,383 delegates to lock up the nomination. Clinton has 2,205 delegates, including 522 super delegates, and Sanders has 1,401 delegates, which includes only 39 super delegates........................
