How Trump and Clinton Are Handling Down-Ballot Races

“Every woman lied when they came forward to hurt my campaign”, Mr Trump told the audience.

When host George Stephanopoulos pressed for evidence of the Clinton campaign’s involvement in the women coming forward, Trump pivoted to the Trump campaign’s claim of “mainstream media” bias. Almost half (47 percent) of voters said voter intimidation is common, including 35 percent of Clinton supporters and 59 percent of Trump’s.

The UPI/CVoter daily presidential tracking poll released Monday shows Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton leading Republican Donald Trump by 3.07 percentage points. “I think you have to be really naïve to think that one and the other weren’t coordinated together”, Trump said.

“I think what my father is saying is, ‘I want a fair election, ‘” Eric Trump said on ABC’s “This Week”.

The numbers in the ABC News/Washington Post poll are more concrete because they aren’t based on mythic enthusiasm.

A request for comment was not immediately returned from Trump’s campaign.

Clinton will be in North Carolina.

Mr Trump’s campaign manager Kellyanne Conway said on Sunday Mrs Clinton had “tremendous advantages”, including a large campaign war chest that had allowed her to spend millions on television ads ahead of the Nov 8 election. If Trump prevents Arizona and Georgia from falling to Democrats and adds in some combination of Colorado, Virginia, New Hampshire and Pennsylvania, he could reach the 270 electoral votes needed, Conway said.

Clinton has been the Democratic frontrunner for the entire race against Trump, the Republican Party’s unpredictable nominee.

In a cosmic twist, a recalcitrant Trump’s hopes would likely fall into the hands Republican leaders in Congress. “Remember when we were in the primary – I ran against Marco, Jeb [Bush], all these guys”.

Beyond Clinton’s two appearances in Charlotte and Raleigh, she had powerful surrogates on the campaign trail Sunday – her husband, former president Bill, in Florida, and Obama in Nevada. Absent Trump (or those street riots), House Speaker Paul Ryan, the highest-ranking GOP elected official, would probably be looked upon first to offer a concession in his candidate’s stead, a sticky situation that could also ensnare Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. In addition to his tepid support for Rubio in the Florida race, Trump has criticized Sen. Though he acknowledged the possibility he may lose, Trump said Friday he would keep up an aggressive schedule in the final days so that he could end the race with no regrets.

“Honest and trustworthy has become our most talked about metric because it’s not great”, said Jennifer Palmieri, Clinton’s communications director.
