Clinton hopes to use a narrower-than-expected loss in this first primary state as a springboard into contests later this month in Nevada and SC, where she hopes a more heavily-minority electorate will build the foundation for a delegate-by-delegate drive toward the Democratic nomination.

Clinton’s trip comes at a critical time in her campaign – after barely eking out a victory in Iowa and when her poll numbers are dramatically behind Bernie Sanders’ in New Hampshire.
