Clinton’s speech is a part of a coordinated effort by her campaign in key battleground states to emphasize how tax breaks for the wealthy proposed by Trump “would come at great cost to much-needed investments in infrastructure, education, health care, and other priorities”.

In a speech delivered in Wisconsin on Tuesday, Donald Trump attempted to pitch his campaign to an African American voter demographic that is nearly totally absent from his base. Popular surrogates, including Vice President Joe Biden this week in Pennsylvania, have testified to her trustworthiness.
