Donald Trump is on the clock. The embrace was met with scorn by some Republicans, who thought Christie was helping to put the president in a good light so close to the election at the expense of their party’s challenger. On Friday, Trump described an African-American community beset by crumbling inner cities, failing schools and high unemployment, and suggested that Hillary Clinton and the Democratic Party have taken the black vote for granted while doing nothing to help the community. The joint committees can use higher contribution limits; contributions are distributed among the campaign and national and state Democratic committees.

Clinton seems more than content to let Trump dominate coverage on cable news and in national newspapers.

“They want to put together a task force very much like the Ronald Reagan days, with the exception of amnesty”, said Jerry Natividad, a Hispanic Republican from Colorado who was at the Friday meeting.

For perspective, in July 2012, Mitt Romney’s campaign reported $32.7 million in disbursements. “The Democrats have something that the Republicans don’t: They have a nominee that’s built a real campaign organization”.

Trump is acting like a sore loser weeks before the general election is held on November 8.

Amid a campaign leadership overhaul this week, Trump trails Clinton by 6 percentage points in an average of recent polls that include Libertarian nominee Gary Johnson and the Green Party’s Jill Stein, according to RealClearPolitics.

Trump headed to flood-damaged Louisiana to express solidarity with residents cleaning up after devastating flooding that left at least 13 people dead.

Her opponent, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, regularly gives access to the press during open press conferences.

Mr Trump has continued to increase the size of his operation, putting 5 million dollars (£3.8 million) this week into his first batch of TV ads. The New York businessman’s campaign received three invitations to address the National Urban League, according to The New York Times. “To those I say the following: what do you have to lose by trying something new like Trump?” “They will be on the attack”. Brad Parscale, the president, is the campaign’s director of digital marketing.

Bannon and Conway will have money to work with.

A super PAC backing Hillary Clinton ‘s presidential bid raised almost $10 million in July, getting a $3 million chunk from hedge fund manager Donald Sussman.

“I think the Clinton campaign lost an opportunity to have the vice-president be a Latino to really solidify that”. He gave the group $2 million in July, making him Trump’s most generous supporter yet. Such an order was passed by the US District Judge Emmet G Sullivan as part of a lawsuit filed against Clinton by Judicial Watch, which had sought permission to question the former Secretary of State under oath and in person.
