“Everyone should calm down about it”, Trump adviser Rudy Giuliani, the former NY mayor, told ABC News on Sunday. “I am confident that he’s going to start doing it”.
Former U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Newt Gingrich, a Trump backer, told Fox News the NY businessman had made mistakes, but he said Clinton had the greater error in flubbing explanations of her use of a private server while she was U.S. secretary of state from 2009-2013. On Thursday in Michigan, Clinton lays out a plan for the “biggest investment in good-paying jobs since World War Two”, her campaign said.

The Republican nominee, who was repeatedly interrupted by protestors, unveiled his plan a week after he feuded with Ryan, initially refusing to endorse him as he faces a primary challenge.
Donald Trump’s support is sliding after a rough week. Nearly six in 10 voters say Trump is not qualified to be president and just three in 10 say they would feel comfortable if he were to become president.
Clinton said on Friday she “short-circuited” a week earlier when she said FBI Director James Comey had said she was truthful to the American people about her email server. Comey had contradicted several statements Clinton had made about the server.
“I’ll take the week. So I think that’s far more serious – or at least it should get as much attention as was paid to, you know, the comments that were made about -about the Khan family”, the former New York Mayor said.
U.S. Senator Tim Kaine, Clinton’s vice presidential running mate, defended her email answers on NBC’s “Meet the Press”.

“Hillary’s situation in which the Federal Bureau of Investigation found her to be extremely careless in handling top security information, my goodness, I wouldn’t hire a person as an assistant U.S. attorney if that was in their Federal Bureau of Investigation background”, he said.
