Pence stands with Trump: Trump’s running mate, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, doubled-down Sunday on Trump’s assertion that birtherism traces back to Clinton’s campaign, reports NBC News.
The first presidential debate is scheduled to be held on September 26, while the two others will take place on October 9 and October 19.
And so, seven weeks before Election Day, the race is as tight as can be.
That ad is part of Clinton’s deep edge over Trump on television in the state.
In the head-to-head matchup with Clinton, Trump leads up by 1 percentage point. Clinton laid out her plan earlier in the campaign.
This wasn’t the first time that Trump reacted to news of an apparent terrorist attack by congratulating himself.
After scripted well wishes for her recovery, he returned to questioning her stamina as she prepared to resume campaigning last week. “I don’t think so”. “By the preponderance of evidence before us, Hillary Clinton, or her campaign, were definitely involved in this issue”. “Obviously we still have half the month to go, but between the health issue and the “deplorables” comment, things are looking up for Trump”, O’ Connell said. On Sunday, Pence called that interpretation “absolute nonsense”, adding on ABC that Trump was only suggesting Clinton has been protected by gun-toting security guards for decades.
In Ohio, Trump has a clear advantage at this point in the race. However, the issue resurface last week when Trump stalled for days about whether Obama was indeed a citizen, saying Friday that Obama indeed was but blaming associates of the Clinton campaign for starting the so-called “birther” issue.
Clinton’s running mate, Tim Kaine, campaigned last week at the University of MI. The Republican has said he would bar immigration from nations with ties to terrorism. It’s a region replete with moderate Republicans struggling with the decision about whether to support Trump.
During an impassioned speech to the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation, an organisation that carries out research on issues affecting African-Americans, Mr Obama said it would be an “insult to his legacy” if the black community voted for Donald Trump – or refrained from voting at all – in the upcoming election.
To be sure, Trump, the Republican presidential nominee and first-time candidate, was for years at the forefront of the so-called “birther movement”, which argued Obama was born in Kenya, therefore not a US citizen. Bernie Sanders in mock debate session opposite Clinton during the Democratic primary, is playing the role of Pence opposite Kaine ahead of the vice presidential debate on October 4, reports Politico.
“Even Patti Solis Doyle, who was Hillary Clinton’s campaign manager in 2008. until she was sacked by Hillary Clinton, admitted on Friday. that she said, yes, these are her words: There was a volunteer in Iowa who was pushing this”, Conway said.
Nearly 2 million votes, or fully one-third of the 5.67 million presidential votes cast in the state in 2012, came from Philadelphia plus Bucks, Chester, Delaware and Montgomery counties. “It wasn’t like he was talking about it on a regular basis”.

Trump has called for a new “extreme vetting” system that would apply an ideological screening test to potential immigrants, asking whether they support concepts like women’s and gay rights. Trump said in a CNN interview. “I mean, ISIL, North Korea, poverty, climate change, none of those things weighed on my mind like the validity of my birth certificate”, he joked. On the campaign trail, she frequently invokes her role in the 2011 raid that killed Osama bin Laden, describing to voters the tense atmosphere in the White House alongside President Barack Obama at that moment. “Those demands will include religious and political freedom for the Cuban people and the freeing of political prisoners”, Trump said.
