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.
In past speeches in the state, both candidates have given attention to one subject in particular: the economy. This raises the question: which Democratic candidate has the best economic plan for California, Sanders or Clinton?
