But a new Siena College poll finds that almost two-thirds of voters think that Donald Trump at the top of the ticket will not help Republicans hold on to the Senate. At right is Jovita Carranza, former Small Business Administration Deputy Administrator.

Romney won 4 percent of black voters in the Buckeye State in 2012, running against Barack Obama, the first black USA president.
Conway, who supported Trump rival Ted Cruz during the primaries, was named to her post this past week in a shake-up in which the campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, resigned and conservative media firebrand Stephen Bannon, who led Breitbart News, took over as campaign chief executive.
Trump said in an interview with Fox & Friends on Monday that he’s “not flip-flopping”, but wants to come up with “a really fair, but firm” solution.
The poll found Clinton leads Trump 43 percent to 39 percent, while 10 percent of the state’s likely voters back Libertarian Gary Johnson and less than 1 percent support Green Party candidate Jill Stein.
“Our campaign is going to use every tool in our toolbox from a massive grassroots campaign, state-of-the-art digital outreach and a significant advertising campaign to make sure every voter knows the stakes in this election and the danger Donald Trump represents”, said a Clinton aide about the ad reservations. Still, many of Trump’s claims failed to tell the full story, particularly because it failed to point out that numerous reports mentioned in Trump’s attack were written during Clinton’s stint as secretary of State.
Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump both had a second month of strong fundraising in July, the month that they claimed their parties’ nominations.
“There is no moving the turnout operation or the absentee ballot program away from Donald Trump and in some senator’s favor”, Reince Priebus, the RNC chairman, said in an interview Sunday with CBS’s “Face the Nation”.
Conway echoed Priebus’ optimism, contending that the candidate just had the best week of his campaign, “mostly because he’s able to be himself, the authentic Donald Trump“.
A new style was immediately evident as Trump, in a first, offered regrets for any remarks that had caused offense, stuck with his teleprompter at a series of events, and paid a visit to flood-ravaged Louisiana, where he briefly helped unload a truck of supplies. Meanwhile, the Trump campaign launched its first general election TV ad last week, saying it planned to spend $4.8 million on a 10-day ad buy in Ohio, Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Florida.
“I want our party to be a home of the African-American voter once again”, he said. Overall in July, Clinton raised $90 million for her campaign and Democratic partners, while Trump raised $80 million for the campaign and Republican groups. “We’re not seeing a pivot”.
The Sputnik News article was such an obvious piece of propaganda that it could have been written by Trump himself. “It is the ideal medium to help Donald Trump“. He went after MSNBC’s “Morning Joe”, tweeting that the show is “unwatchable!” and said its host, Mika Brzezinski, “is off the wall, a neurotic and not very bright mess!”
When asked whether his immigration policies would include a deportation force, Conway said on CNN’s “State of the Union” that it was “to be determined”.

Instead, about half of the campaign’s $18.5 million in spending was vacuumed up by Giles-Parscale, a web design and marketing firm new to national politics, Federal Election Commission filings show.
