Trump and Clinton are locked in a virtual tie in Georgia, which has gone red in presidential races for the last 20 years.

In an emotional exchange, Shalga Hightower said her daughters’ killers “should have never been here” and praised Trump for giving her daughter recognition. “I truly, truly thank you from the bottom of my heart”, she said as Trump listened intently.
At his events, Trump has been featuring parents whose children have been killed by people living in the USA illegally. Trump said this week he would block taxpayer dollars from going to any cities that refuse to cooperate with federal immigration authorities.
“Tremendous numbers, tens of thousands of people, are being affected”, he claimed, adding that Clinton “has no clue and doesn’t care”.
