LISA DESJARDINS: Clinton and her new plane were on the way to Cleveland, where she stressed her message on labor and the economy. It was more than obvious talking was a severe strain on Hillary and she never really fully recovered the entire time on stage.
In an interview with ABC News, set to air Tuesday, Mrs. Clinton gave the one word answer “no”, when asked if she would accept the invitation, according to a written transcript of the interview.
Under extensive criticism from her rival and journalists for not holding a full press conference in nine months, Clinton welcomed reporters on her plane.
Reminded of the omission afterward, she told reporters she wanted to focus on Republicans and Trump, two things “we really, really, really have to worry about”.
“I think people don’t care”, Trump said Monday afternoon in OH of his tax returns, which he has not released. While Trump publicly maintains support from numerous high-ranking GOP officials, a striking number of discussions among Republicans in Washington often begin with an assumption that Clinton will be president come January.
She took some swipes at Russian Federation, which USA intelligence and law enforcement agencies believe is trying to influence and disrupt the US election, and at Republican opponent Donald Trump.
Clinton, whose use of a private email account during her time as secretary of state has dogged her 2016 presidential campaign, said she understood and took classification seriously when she was President Barack Obama’s top diplomat.
But asked Monday aboard his plane whether he could rule out a pathway to legal status for undocumented immigrants, Trump declined.
But it remains unclear how the brash insults he used to sideswipe rivals in the earlier Republican-only debates will translate into a one-on-one with Clinton, an experienced debater who can reel off policies and statistics. For a time, their planes were parked about 200 yards apart at the Cleveland airport, a sign of Ohio’s importance in the election. I think you have an obligation to the debates.
Trump, 70, dominated last week’s political messaging and imagery that included his visit to an African-American church in Detroit.
While Trump still trails Clinton in many battleground states where the election will likely be decided, he has drawn close to even with her in some national polls and even inched ahead of the Democrat in others.
The first of three presidential debates that are expected to be the most watched moments of the election is just three weeks away.
Like Clinton, Trump has largely avoided having the press corps on his plane, but on Monday he invited some journalists aboard, where he discussed his immigration platform.
Trump said after maneuvering through a crowd of people who shouted his name, against a backdrop of food stands offering fare ranging from chicken on a stick to Italian sausages, fudge and fresh corn.
Trump allowed a small pool of reporters and photographers to join him aboard his private plane Monday between campaign stops in OH – a first, which came on the same day Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton took her inaugural flight on a plane with her entire traveling press corps.
“We’re going to make that decision into the future”, said Mr Trump.
The narrowing of the race is a remarkable feat for Trump, who was down 10 points a month ago in CNN’s Poll of Polls.
