Clinton, who is in Arkansas for two days campaigning for Democratic candidates, briefly shared with voters what it's like to be a grandfather and why his Arkansas roots are important to him.

"I just became a grandfather, and you care more about the future when you get a kid or grandkid, that's true," he said. "But all my life, I thought one of the greatest privileges I ever had was being born and growing up here, where I was taught not to turn away from anybody because of their race, income or political party, or just because they disagreed with me on something."

Clinton's friends who he was campaigning for were quick to congratulate the new grandfather.

"Now Mr. President, I think it was 11 days ago that you became a grandfather right?" Patrick Henry Hays, who is running to represent Arkansas 2nd congressional district, said to loud applause from the crowd. "September 26th at 7:03, Charlotte came into this world."
