Clinton vs. Sanders: Which candidate has the best economic vision for California?

With less than a week before the California primary, the Democratic presidential candidates are looking for more face-time with voters.

Bernie Sanders will host three rallies in California this week. Hillary Clinton, not to be outdone, canceled an event in New Jersey to campaign more in California before the primary.
