First Read: Team Clinton Is Feeling the Pressure


 
First Read is a morning briefing from Meet the Press and the NBC Political Unit on the day's most important political stories and why they matter.

When Chelsea Clinton - in her first true campaign event of this presidential season -- is attacking Bernie Sanders on health care, you know the Clinton campaign thinks they're in a closer race than they might have ever imagined. (Chelsea campaigned plenty in '08, but we don't ever remember her throwing these kinds of jabs at Barack Obama or John Edwards.) "I'm working hard, and I intend to keep working as hard as I can," Hillary Clinton said on "Today" this morning when NBC's Savannah Guthrie asked her about the tightening polls. "I am excited where we are." And Clinton continued to criticize Sanders on guns and health care. "We shouldn't be ripping up Obamacare and starting over," she said, referring to Sanders' proposal for a single-payer system. We're now less than 20 days from Iowa, and Team Clinton is certainly feeling the pressure.
