Despite Trump’s suggestion he would invite Flowers to the event, Kellyanne Conway, his campaign manager, said there’s “no plan” for Trump to raise Bill Clinton’s past infidelity during the debate.

Mook also said polls showing Clinton’s slipping numbers don’t indicate a loss of support.
“Gennifer Flowers will not be attending the debate tomorrow night”, Pence, the GOP’s vice presidential nominee, said on Fox News Sunday.
A Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll shows that one-third of voters say the debate will be “extremely” or “quite” important in their decision on who to support for president.

Not one to shy away from a mudslinging fight, Trump tweeted saying that he would invite Gennifer Flowers to sit alongside Cuban.
