Hillary Clinton: Corporations and Businesses Don't Create Jobs - Video
Former Secretary of State of State Hillary Rodham Clinton urged North Carolina Democrats on Saturday to work to re-elect Sen. Kay Hagan, stumping for the incumbent in a race that will help decide which party controls the U.S. Senate.
Clinton headlined a rally in Charlotte with Hagan, who is locked in a tight re-election campaign against Republican challenger Thom Tillis.
Before more than 1,000 people in a convention center ballroom, Clinton said the race will come down to turnout. And she asked Hagan's supporters to get voters to the polls on her behalf.
"A race will often come down to who has more money, who is peddling more fear and who turns out. And there is nothing more important for Kay than who turns out," she said.
Hagan also focused on that point.
"You better believe that the eyes of the country are on North Carolina right now," Hagan said. "Folks all across the nation are looking at our state to see if our grassroots effort can still triumph over out-of-state billionaires" who are "trying to buy this election."
Republicans have long eyed North Carolina as a top target to help win back the Senate.
The campaign is considered the most expensive in the country when spending by Hagan, Tillis and outside groups is taken into account. The Center for Responsive Politics recently said the combined amount has now reached almost $90 million.
"I can only win the election with your help," Hagan said, adding that early voting has started and that she needs her supporters to "take three people to the polls before election day."
Tillis has brought in his share of top GOP leaders to campaign for him this fall, including 2016 hopefuls New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky.

STORY HIGHLIGHTS
Charlotte, North Carolina (CNN) -- Negative, expensive campaigns is something Sen. Kay Hagan is getting an education in this year. And something Hillary Clinton knows very well.
Clinton campaigned Saturday for her fellow Democrat at a Charlotte rally of about 1,800 supporter. The former U.S. senator and secretary of state -- and widely presumed 2016 presidential contender -- used her appearance for Hagan to decry Thom Tillis, the Republican looking to unseat Hagan in November, as someone who will answer to big business, not raise the minimum wage and slash education funding.
And unlike other appearances Clinton has made on the midterm campaign trail, the former first lady spent a portion of her speech Saturday decrying the level of outside spending in the Hagan-Tillis race.
"Elections come down often to who has got more money, who is pedaling more fear and who turns out," Clinton told an excited crowd. The former first lady later criticized the "onslaught of out of state money and negativity that is coming in against" Hagan.
"You have to prove them wrong," Clinton urged the crowd. Prove to them "that no matter how much money has flooded into this state, North Carolina is not for sale" -- the latter phrase having a mantra for Hagan supporters.
There is a reason Clinton focused on this: The North Carolina Senate race is by far the most expensive in the country this year. So far, campaigns and outside groups have spent close to $80 million in the state.
According to the Center for Responsive Politics, Tillis has had $44 million of outside money spent on his behalf. Hagan has had $22 million.
Tillis is backed by groups like Americans For Prosperity, Crossroads GPS and the Chamber of Commerce. Hagan has been supported by Senate Majority PAC, the National Education Association and AFSCME, a labor organization.
The onslaught of spending likely won't stop soon, either. A spokesman for Hagan said he sees the total spent in the campaign jumping to over $100 million in the last 10 days of campaign.
