The Democratic presidential nominee took questions from reporters Monday morning about the weekend bombings in Manhattan and New Jersey, which officials say increasingly look like acts of terrorism with a foreign connection.

Mrs. Clinton says she has a plan to “take the fight to ISIS everywhere they threaten us – including online”.
The former Secretary of State spoke with reporters before boarding her campaign jet in White Plains, N.Y., and urged Americans to stay strong in the face of bombings in NY and New Jersey over the weekend. “I don’t think so”.
Officials in NY said Sunday they were still trying to determine who was behind an explosion that rocked the Chelsea neighborhood and what the motivation was.
In a phone interview Monday on “Fox and Friends”, the Republican presidential nominee said he would “knock the hell out of” terrorist groups.
He said that USA leaders, including Obama, “coddle” potential terrorists, saying “we can’t let any more people come into this country” amid calls for increased racial profiling. “This is one group, but you have many, many groups because we are allowing these people to come into our country and destroy our country and make it unsafe for people”, he said.
Her campaign days later released further medical information on her health, while Trump appeared on The Dr. Oz Show to discuss a summary of his most recent physical exam. Trump essentially called for racial profiling as the solution, whereas Clinton said “it is crucial that we continue to build up trust between law enforcement and Muslim American communities”. “I am confident we will once again choose resolve over fear”.
The New York Times also revealed that Mr Trump’s companies received at least $1.18 billion in tax breaks, grants and other subsidies for his luxury apartments, hotels and office buildings in New York, according to city records. On the campaign trail, she frequently invokes her role in the 2011 raid that killed Osama bin Laden, regaling voters with her account of being in the White House’s Situation Room alongside President Barack Obama. Perhaps it’s because the her approval ratings continue to hover around the mid-60s, well above both Clinton’s, Trump’s, and even her husband’s. But in a one-on-one battle with Clinton, it can add up to a character questions with three debates and mere weeks to go before the November 8 elections. “They are trying to disrupt the way we live”, Obama said.
Kaine also sought to explain Clinton’s “basket of deplorables” remark in the context of the birther controversy about President Obama. “I knew this was going to happen”, he added.

Pennsylvania is a state that Clinton and Republican candidate Donald Trump are counting on to win enough electoral votes to become the next president. “And there’s going to be one very notable absence headlining this meetings, and that’s President Barack Obama”. Alluding to some of Trump’s most controversial remarks on racial issues, the president warned his candidacy is “tapping into some of our worst impulses as a country – ones that divide us rather than bring us together”.
