Speaking at a Denver machine shop Tuesday, Kaine noted reports that Republican presidential candidate significantly increased the monthly rent his campaign pays in at his Trump Tower headquarters after his campaign started raising large amounts of money from donors.

In a shift of tone, Donald Trump vowed to be “fair, but firm” toward immigrants in a stance he said is not flip-flopping.

Trump is expected to give an immigration policy speech on Thursday in Colorado.

Trump alarmed North Atlantic Treaty Organisation countries when he said if he’s president, the US might not defend North Atlantic Treaty Organisation allies under attack if they haven’t paid their fair share of defense costs. “Take my pulse while I’m talking to you – make sure I’m alive”, Clinton said to Kimmel of the health rumors.
