Yet the camera-ready campaign stop did little to obscure the turmoil in Trump’s campaign, punctuated early Friday when Trump announced that he’d accepted campaign chairman Paul Manafort’s offer to resign. Some sources inside the Trump camp say Manafort was pushed aside so Steven Bannon, a conservative media executive, would take over.

An ad campaign using Trump’s words against him, saying that Trump admitted he is emotionally unfit to be president by saying, “Sometime in the heat of debate you don’t choose the right words or you say the wrong thing”.
Trump is also making a push on TV, launching his first television ad of the general election.
The ad is being aired just a day after Trump said in a speech that he now regrets causing “personal pain” in the heat of debates.

Clinton is slated to spend $17 million during the period, according to Goldstein, and the pro-Clinton super-PAC Priorities USA has committed $5 million during roughly the identical time period in Florida, Pennsylvania, Ohio, North Carolina, Nevada, Iowa, New Hampshire, and Nebraska. In an editorial published Wednesday, The Advocate newspaper in Baton Rouge called on Obama to visit “the most anguished state in the union”.

“It’s also presidential today to have him and Gov. Pence going to Louisiana in a decidedly nonpolitical event”, she told ABC, adding that they would be “going to help people on the ground who are in need”.
