“There was a collapse of the youth vote,” Clinton said. “The African-American vote held fairly steady and was remarkable … we had a little bit of a loss of the Hispanic vote perhaps because the president” didn’t sign an order on executive action on immigration reform.
“It was a tough call for him because had he done so a lot of others would have lost by even more,” Clinton added. “What that shows you is the people who were against us felt more strongly than the people who were for us. The people who were for us just in all the din couldn’t hear what was actually a fairly coherent economic message coming out.”
A group of immigration activists targeted Hillary Clinton at a number of her midterm campaign appearances, urging her to address the question of whether she supports Obama using executive action to ease deportations of undocumented immigrants. The former first lady, who is likely to run for president in 2016, has not expressed an opinion about it, dodging questions from activists in Iowa and at other stops.
