Hillary Clinton worked to fire up Democratic women Friday as the party looks to turn out its base voters in Novembers contested midterm elections. I know they may not be as glamorous as presidential elections, but these upcoming midterm elections really are crucial to our countrys future, she told the audience at a Democratic National Committee womens leadership forum in Washington.

Highlighting the role that female lawmakers have had in breaking Washington gridlock and advocating for progressive policies, Clinton praised a movement of women making a difference in government. Dont let anyone dismiss what youre doing here today as womens work, she said. Dont let anyone send you back to the sidelines.

Clinton didnt mention her own possible presidential ambitions, but she did note that she is on grandbaby watch as her daughter Chelsea prepares for the birth of her first child.

She also offered a vociferous defense of DNC chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz, who introduced the former secretary of state. Wasserman Schultz has been under the spotlight after POLITICO reported that her fellow Democrats believe she is becoming a liability to the committee.
