Trump sought to dispel panic earlier Wednesday, reassuring voters at a Daytona Beach, Florida rally that his campaign has “never been so well united”.
He said that the former U.S. secretary of state, first lady and NY senator had promoted many issues to which he had been committed, including the expansion of education and women’s health care.
While Republicans are deserting their party and the party’s nominee, Donald Trump is also using endorsements as a political weapon.
While he gives only lukewarm support to the former Secretary of State and U.S. Senator from NY, he said Clinton represents a far better choice on the November ballot.
Brent Scowcroft, respected national security advisor to two Republican presidents, endorsed Clinton, as did former Republican senator Larry Pressler of South Dakota, who cited Clinton’s support for stricter gun laws. Richard Hanna, a GOP congressman from NY, broke with his party and endorsed Hillary Clinton, primarily because of the attacks on the family of Humayun Khan, the soldier who lost his life in Iraq.
While I disagree with her on many issues, I will vote for Mrs. Clinton. He refused to endorse House Speaker Paul Ryan and Sen.
Trump “is unfit to serve our party and can not lead this country”, Hanna wrote in a column for Syracuse.com.
Trump added he plans to put up $60 million more dollars into his campaign and will “be in for over $100 million”.
“I know this is an very bad thing to say from a Republican’s perspective, but I have not excluded that possibility”, Hanna said.

Hillary Clinton raised $63 million in July for her presidential campaign, her best month yet and a summertime haul that puts her ahead of President Barack Obama’s fundraising at the same point in his re-election race. Since the Republican convention, Hillary had been either tied with or trailing GOP nominee Donald Trump.
