Bill Clinton, Donald Trump Take Campaign Show To New Mexico

New Mexico is getting dueling campaign visits from former President Bill Clinton and GOP presidential hopeful Donald Trump.

The former Democratic president is scheduled Tuesday to hold an evening rally for his wife at an outdoor plaza in Espanola while Trump is stopping in Albuquerque for an event that is expected to draw protests.

Six years ago, Bill Clinton campaigned in the same city for then-Lt. Gov. Diane Denish in her unsuccessful race against Republican Gov. Susana Martinez, now in her second term.

Some protesters say they will attend Trump's rally but declined to say if they planned on disrupting Trump's speech.

Albuquerque police say the department is working with state and federal authorities to make sure all demonstrations remain peaceful.
