Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump have continued with a campaign-long tradition of responding to acts of terror in drastically different ways, following attacks this weekend in New York, New Jersey, and Minnesota.

In an interview Monday night on Fox News Channel’s O’Reilly Factor, Trump said, “I have respect for Lester”.
The latest Siena poll released Tuesday gives Clinton a lead of 51% to 30% statewide, essentially unchanged from a Siena poll a month ago.
“They want to use that to recruit more fighters to their cause by turning it into a religious conflict”, Clinton said on Monday. “The next debate, you have two kind of partisan people”.
She insinuated that militants, particularly those affiliated with the militant Islamic State group, are rooting for Trump to win the White House and are using some of his controversial proposals to recruit fighters.
Despite his controversial rhetoric on illegal immigration and his call for a wall on the U.S. -Mexico border, there’s little evidence to suggest that Trump is lagging among Hispanic voters. “I knew this was going to happen”, he added. “And the reason it will be is not because of Hillary’s flaws, but rather because, structurally, we’ve become a very polarised society”, he said.
Looking ahead to September 26, the night of the first general election presidential debate between Trump and Hillary Clinton, the Fox News host asked the GOP nominee if he would bring up his Democratic rival’s personal marital history with former president Bill Clinton. Clinton needs to show people that she can ring the alarm bell over the stagnant economy and our national security challenges. “Because we’re not knocking them”, Trump told Fox News Channel.
“This should not be a close election, but it will be”, Mr Obama said. “What I’ve laid out is a path forward that will keep us safer, protect our country, and go after the terrorists to finally destroy them”.
She’s scheduled to meet with the leaders of Egypt, Ukraine and Japan later in the day in New York City.
Voight also praised Trump’s speech at the recent Family Research Council’s Values Voters Summit and said evangelical Christians are behind him.
Clinton campaign officials said Monday afternoon a Tuesday fundraiser in Chapel Hill was postponed.
