During her latest swing through the Granite State this weekend, Democratic presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren stumped in Rochester, Bedford and Nashua, and spoke to guests at the Rockingham County Democrats summer clambake.

The senator from Massachusetts also sat down for a brief interview with NHPR inside the Portsmouth Book & Bar, where she touched on topics ranging from student debt to international trade.

(This transcript has been lightly edited for clarity.)

Yes, right here in New Hampshire, the first time I think I was here, I had someone walk up to me holding out her hand, tell me her name, and say, I have $42,000 in student loan debt. And at that same event, I had someone come up who was a public school teacher, who said my second and third jobs, I spend the entire paycheck on my student loan debt.
