“America is once again at a moment of reckoning”, she said in her acceptance speech in Philadelphia.

Trump is also focusing on OH and Pennsylvania, as states where he might make headway with blue-collar white men.
Clinton is in the midst of a post-convention campaign bus tour through the battleground states of OH and Pennsylvania.
In a first for a Democratic convention, a number of Republican economic and foreign policy leaders hammered home the point.
“And we’ll build a path to citizenship for millions of immigrants who are already contributing to our economy”, she said.
Clinton said if Americans are serious about keeping the country safe, they can’t afford to have a president who’s in the pocket of the gun lobby.

“And in the end, it comes down to what Donald Trump doesn’t get: that America is great because America is good”. Some analysts have criticized her for avoiding the subject during the speech, but Dugan defended the omission.
Like the convention itself, Clinton’s almost hour-long speech was created to showcase her life in the policy trenches, fighting not for revolution but for change nonetheless. “No one has worse judgement than Hillary Clinton-corruption and devastation follows her wherever she goes”.
But viewers turned up to hear Trump: his audience was watched by 9 million more people than it was for any other night of the Republican convention, Nielsen said.
With 101 days to go before Americans elect a new president, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton will hit the campaign trail Friday hoping to secure a poll bump from their dueling party conventions.
Republicans are not only skeptical that Clinton’s strategy won’t work, but they argue it could backfire if it compels liberal Democrats to vote for Jill Stein, the Green Party’s nominee for president, or Gary Johnson, the Libertarian candidate.
And Clinton offered an open hand to backers of Vermont Sen. Despite lingering anger among his supporters, Bernie Sanders endorsed Clinton; Ted Cruz and other GOP rivals refused to endorse Trump. She took the stage at her first rally with her husband, former president Bill Clinton, and running mate Tim Kaine, the Virginia senator, standing behind her.

At the Republican convention last week, the 70-year-old Trump doubled down on controversial plans to clamp down on crime and on immigration from countries – including France – that he deems “compromised” by terror attacks. “I think our party has to come together and think very seriously if we’re going to talk about national security in a real way and oversight”.
