Hillary Clinton And Bernie Sanders Ramp Up Efforts In Pennsylvania

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- With 189 Democratic delegates up for grabs in Tuesday's primary, both Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders are ramping up efforts in Pennsylvania.

The Sanders campaign is hoping to get into voters' hearts through their stomachs. Ben and Jerry themselves scooped up their limited edition "Bernie's Yearning," for people "Feeling The Bern," in Rittenhouse Square.

"We are very supportive of healthcare for all. We are very supportive of free public education," said Ben and Jerry's co-founder Jerry Greenfield. "It's what's going to help the country. It's not about the individual. It's about what's the best for everyone."

Some undecided voters admitted that the sweet treat was good enough to influence their vote.

"Mainly ice cream supporters, but like I said, this could change my mind a little bit," said Mark Hudson of Philadelphia.

Fresh off her New York primary win, Hillary Clinton is becoming a familiar face in Philadelphia.

Clinton participated in a discussion at St. Paul's Baptist Church in Spring Garden, with former Attorney General Eric Holder.

Outside of the church, protesters holding a "Black Lives Matter," banner clashed with neighbors and used a microphone and speaker to criticize Clinton and her supporters.

Clinton then held a rally at The Fillmore in Northern Liberties.

Meanwhile, the Sanders campaign announced another celebrity endorsement from Philly-born rapper Freeway. Freeway hosted a Sanders rally at Lincoln University.

Sanders will be in Reading Thursday.
