During an impassioned speech to the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation, an organisation that carries out research on issues affecting African-Americans, Mr Obama said it would be an “insult to his legacy” if the black community voted for Donald Trump – or refrained from voting at all – in the upcoming election.
A national Quinnipiac poll showed Clinton capturing 31% of the vote among voters 18-to-34 years of age and a slim 5-point lead over Trump. They should disarm, right? “It matters. We’ve got to get people to vote”, Obama said.

Pence is a former 12-year congressman and says he envisions emulating Cheney in working closely with the House and Senate to implement Trump’s agenda. At a news conference in Washington, members focused on the apparent goal of the claims about Obama’s birth to delegitimize his presidency, which is perceived by many as racially-motivated. “People are giving money to the joint fundraising committee because Donald Trump’s name is on it”.
