Clinton urges high voter turnout in Michigan primary election
US presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has urged voters ahead of the Michigan state primary to seal her position as the Democrat nominee.
Speaking to a crowd of supporters on Tuesday in Detroit, Michigan, the former secretary of state called for a high voter turnout in the crucial primary so she can defeat rival Bernie Sanders.
There are 130 Democratic delegates up for grabs in the state, while Republican candidates are vying for 59.
According to the latest poll results, Clinton and Republican frontrunner Donald Trump are in the lead in Michigan.
Voters in Michigan and Mississippi have already started to cast ballots in primaries to choose Republican and Democratic candidates for the 2016 White House race.
Later in the day, Republican voters would also cast ballots in Idaho and Hawaii to choose their candidates for the Republican nominee for president.
According to polls, Trump is slated to win in Michigan and Mississippi as well as in Idaho. However, John Kasich, the governor of Ohio, is hoping for a surprise in his favor in Michigan.
Despite being behind in the polls, Sanders sees a “path toward victory” after winning in Nebraska and Kansas, saying his campaign is gaining momentum.
In an interview with ABC News on Sunday, Sanders said his campaign was happy about the states he won on “Super Saturday”.
"I think geographically, we are looking good. I think we have a path toward victory," he stated.
Sanders also said that in a general election matchup, his chances of beating Trump are better than her rival, Clinton.
