H illary Clinton is among the most unpopular presidential nominees in history. But there’s one group that doesn’t matter: Young girls.
Throughout the 2016 presidential campaign, the Democratic nominee has gone out of her way to highlight young girls’ questions at town halls , to pose with young girls for photos , to include them in her campaign ads and even to invite them to speak at her convention .
Meantime, many young girls have come to Clinton’s rallies excited to see a female nominee. You might even say that they’re her biggest fans, although unfortunately for Clinton they can’t yet vote.
Here’s a look at some of the best photographs of Clinton and young girls from this election as well as her time as Secretary of State, U.S. Senator and First Lady.
