Trump and Clinton turn to battleground states in South

Her campaign, along with the Democratic National Committee and other state parties, collected $143 million in August, a record-shattering number.

The day before in swing state Ohio, Trump softened his stance on immigration while Clinton blasted Russian Federation for suspected tampering in the US electoral process.

Two months from Election Day, Hillary Clinton has a clear edge over Donald Trump in almost every measure traditionally used to gauge success in presidential races.

Since US presidential elections are decided by 50 elections in the states, there are limits to what national polling can tell voters.

Clinton, who has been in intensive study sessions with her debate team in recent days, is sure to face higher expectations from voters.

A Trump campaign official said Wednesday the campaign had collected the $90 million despite its paltry fundraising operation.

Meanwhile, Mr Trump extended a rare invitation to journalists to accompany him on his private plane from Cleveland to Youngstown, Ohio. Any immigrants who want full citizenship must return to their countries of origin and get in line, he said.

A Trump adviser, speaking on the condition of anonymity to share details ahead of the speech, said Trump would ensure the additional spending is fully paid for.

Clinton must be able to deftly deal with such a development, and there are plenty of contenders on the horizon.

Clinton “probably knows how to find them”, he said.

Standing on the tarmac at the Westchester County Airport, the Democratic presidential nominee spent four minutes slamming Trump as ill-informed on foreign policy before fielding five questions from reporters.

“I’m going to continue to focus on what we’re doing to create jobs here at home”, Clinton said.

Clinton said she was “quite taken aback” by the Trump Foundation’s political contribution to Bondi just as she was considering an investigation into Trump University.

The former secretary of state, who has been markedly press averse for much of her campaign, joked with reporters on board that she had “been just waiting for this moment”. In the four-way race, it’s tied between Clinton and Trump, 40 percent to 40 percent, with Johnson bringing in 11 percent of the vote and Stein with 3 percent.

In total there are 538 electors in the U.S. Electoral College, and to win the White House you need 270 of them on your side.

Trump declared “our country is going to hell” because of policies she would make even worse. “And she didn’t have the energy to go to Mexico”. On Monday, she spoke to reporters on her new campaign plane – answering questions about her email scandal for the first time in months.

“This is like Watergate only now in cyber time”, Clinton said during her in flight press conference, echoing a comment Tim Kaine, her vice presidential nominee, made this week.
