Mrs Clinton warned that once in power Republicans would try to restrict abortion rights and mount a discriminatory and insulting effort to block legislation guaranteeing equal pay for women.

Mrs Hagan is depending on a large turnout among women and African-Americans to see off a challenge from Thom Tillis, the Republican speaker of the North Carolina House of Representatives.

Many in the crowd wore Ready for Hillary teeshirts and Hillary 2016 campaign buttons urging their heroine to again run for president. Mrs Clinton gave them no outright confirmation but as is her wont she dropped a few suggestive hints of her ambitions.

She joked that a month after the birth of her first grandchild, Charlotte, I still have that grandmother glow.

But she added that theres nothing that gets your mind concentrated more about the future than the birth of a new child - a line that sparked cries of Run, Hillary, run! from some in the crowd.

Mclean Harper, a Clinton supporter who attended the rally with her wife, Riki Harper, said afterwards: I feel like we will be able to look back at this and say: we saw the President right before she was elected.

Mrs Clinton and Mrs Hagan spoke for a cumulative 34 minutes but neither one mentioned President Barack Obama, whos low approval ratings are seen as a drag on Democrat candidates.

Mrs Hagan, who was first elected in 2008, the year Mr Obama led a wave of Democrats to victories across the US, has studiously avoided any association with the current occupant of the White House.

While the President has largely stayed on the sidelines during this years election, Mrs Clinton has criss-crossed the country in support of Democrats candidates.

Larry Sabato, director of University of Virginia Center for Politics, said Mrs Clinton was campaigning so vigorously partly to build up goodwill in the party ahead of the 2016 election.
