The debate will be September 26 at Hofstra University in Hempstead, New York. Republican Gov. Pat McCrory is lagging his Democratic challenger and GOP Sen. 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.
Clinton’s running mate appeared on all four Sunday shows in pursuit of young voters who polls show have cooled on Clinton in recent weeks. Trump’s unwillingness to state unequivocally what his own campaign had claimed was his new position touched off another round of controversy, which he then doused by offering a short statement, having first baited the media into covering a lengthy campaign event at which he was praised by a parade of military veterans.
The networks stuck with the event, essentially a Trump commercial, until Fox News Channel pulled away at 11:25 a.m. for a studio discussion and the other two networks shortly followed suit. Her bid for the presidency has the formal endorsement of 95 retired generals and admirals. “How do you get Hillary to connect with those folks?” “I don’t think so”.

The Wall Street Journal reported, “Hillary Clinton’s once-commanding lead among young voters has almost collapsed, several polls show, a factor making the presidential race much closer in recent weeks and prompting the Clinton campaign to move quickly to keep a core Democratic constituency in the fold”. The Clinton campaign has denied such an allegation.
“I think it’s important to know the facts about any incident like this”, Clinton told reporters aboard her campaign’s jet after landing in Westchester County on Saturday evening.
Voters continue to see the presidential race as a match-up between an agent of change, in Trump, and a capable manager, in Clinton.
“No, Jake. It wasn’t like he was talking about it on a regular basis”.
While he repeated his charge that Mrs Clinton would introduce “total amnesty in the first 100 days, which means Obamacare, Social Security and Medicare for illegal immigrants”, her website does not mention amnesty.

Obama joked about the “birther” issue long promoted and now dismissed by Trump, telling his audience that there’s an extra spring in his step now that the “whole birther thing is over”.
