Hundreds of Hillary Clinton supporters gathered outside at Cowles Commons in Des Moines in anticipation of the Democratic candidate campaigning for Iowa voters to “get out and vote”.

Even though Mr Obama won Iowa twice, the polls for now are indicating that it is Mr Trump who has the edge in the state this time, thanks to his popularity with white, working-class men.

Based on requests for early ballots and other state voting data, the Associated Press estimates that pre-Election Day voting could make up 40% of all ballots cast this year, which would be an increase from the 35% of ballots cast early in 2012.

In the 2012 election, nearly 700,000 Iowans voted early.

Hillary Clinton made a stop is Des Moines, Iowa on Thursday. Iowa is only worth six electoral votes, but those can mean victory or defeat in an election this close.

Steininger says, “More the better there is no time to waste”. It’s a way to increase voter turnout, especially for Americans who have difficulties making it to the polls on November 8.

Clinton staffers plan to take attendees to the polls immediately after the Democratic presidential nominee finishes speaking at her campaign event.

The Clinton campaign today announced the date of her visit, but not the location.

Reid was asked Thursday about that possibility and told reporters that he agreed with Republicans who have urged Trump to avoid the issue.

Trump has faced criticism for not preparing as much as Hillary Clinton for their debate on Monday that was watched by more than 84 million people.

“Trump will always put his own business interest ahead of the national interest – and has no trouble lying about it”, said senior Clinton campaign official Jake Sullivan.

“I want this election to be about something, not just about somebody”, Clinton said, as she talked about climate change, equal pay for women, paid family leave, jobs, education, economic growth and more.

“I am an outsider fighting for you”. After the rally, volunteers were on hand to direct supporters to a nearby early voting site.

“You have no choice”.

“We need a president in office that’s going to do right and know how to run the country, you know?” His campaign described the hullabaloo as evidence of collusion between biased news outlets and Clinton’s campaign, calling it “the single biggest coordinated media attack in history”.

After a pneumonia-induced break that was tough for her campaign, Clinton was back on the trail, brimming with renewed confidence after experts widely declared her the victor of her showdown with Trump. Though Clinton strongly supports President Barack Obama’s efforts to ease the embargo and restore USA ties to Cuba, she accused her opponent of acting against US interests by defying the sanctions in the past.

“This election is enormously important for the future of our country”, Sanders, 75, told the New Hampshire rally.
