PITTSBURGH -- Sen. Hillary Clinton’s daughter, Chelsea, was in the Pittsburgh area again, campaigning for her mother in the closing days before Pennsylvania’s presidential primary.

Chelsea Clinton began her “Your Future, It’s Bright” bus tour of Pennsylvania with a visit to Carnegie Mellon University early Monday evening.

The Democratic presidential candidate's daughter has been going to college campuses, trying to drum up support from younger voters.

At CMU, she spoke about her mother's efforts on health care.

"She kept working to expand coverage and the quality of health care in our country. Out of that effort came the Children's Health Insurance Program, which now covers over 6 million kids in this country," Clinton said.

Clinton's mother was also in Pittsburgh on Monday, along with her opponent, Sen. Barack Obama, speaking at a forum about trade and manufacturing job losses at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center.

The bus tour continued Tuesday morning in Greene County, with a stop at Johnson Commons on the campus of Waynesburg University. There, actor Sean Astin, best known for his roles in "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy and "The Goonies," was also at the event in support of Clinton.

From there, Clinton will move on to Central Park in Johnstown, Wilson College in Chambersburg and Finkenbinder Field in Mechanicsburg.
