Hillary Clinton is set to address the Pennsylvania AFL-CIO convention at 11:15 a.m. Wednesday. Later that evening, her rival for the Democratic nomination, Bernie Sanders, will hold a rally at Temple University's Liacouras Center.
In a poll released Tuesday, Clinton leads Sanders in Pennsylvania by a whopping 22 points.
As of Tuesday evening – and including superdelegates who can back away from a candidate – Clinton held a delegate lead over Sanders nationally, 1,712 to 1,011.
That's not including the results of the Wisconsin primary being held Tuesday.
