Hillary Clinton Wraps Up Midterm Blitz

Feng Li/Getty Images (NASHUA, N.H.) - After nearly two-months traveling the nation to boost Democratic candidates, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's midterm blitz has officially come to a close.


The rally she attended in Nashua, New Hampshire, Sunday afternoon on behalf of Sen. Jeanne Shaheen and Gov. Maggie Hassan was her final stop on the trail ahead of Election Night on Tuesday.


The event also marked her first visit back to the Granite State in over six years. Her last trip was on June 27, 2008, when she and then-Sen. Barack Obama met in Unity, New Hampshire for their first joint rally together after she lost the presidential primary.


Clinton, who took the stage with Shaheen and Gov. Hassan to a roaring crowd, was the final speaker.


'In 2008, during the darkest days of my campaign you lifted me up, you gave me my voice back. You taught me so much about grit and determination,' Clinton said. 'I will never forget that and I want to thank the people of New Hampshire.'


Following the rally, Clinton, Shaheen and Hassan all swung by the Puritan Backroom Diner in Manchester to greet locals. Lots of selfies were taken, which actually may have won over some future voters.


'I'm going to vote for Hillary in 2016 because she took a selfie with me!' one ecstatic 17-year-old girl, who was at the diner eating ice cream with a friend, told ABC News.


Clinton, too, seemed to enjoy it. 'I think selfies are very efficient,' she exclaimed while snapping one with a group of college-aged girls.


Sunday's rally in New Hampshire was, by ABC News' count, Clinton's 29th event since September on behalf of Democratic candidates. Overall she has boosted roughly 24 candidates across more than 15 states.
