Clinton to portray Trump economic plans as handouts for rich

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and vice presidential candidate Sen.

Trump delivered an economic speech in Detroit on Monday.

A source close to Clinton said she would soon release the return, supplementing the decades of returns she and her husband have already made public. Trump has said he won’t release them until an IRS audit is complete.

Clinton and her allies have stepped up pressure on Trump to release his taxes.

The release this week will also include Kaine and his wife, Anne Holton, who will provide returns from the past 10 years, according to the person familiar with the plan, who was not authorized to speak publicly ahead of the release. The source spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the plans in advance. But his scripted remarks were quickly eclipsed by the latest in a series of blunders and controversial statements that appear to have handed Clinton’s campaign a boost in the polls, particularly with Republican women and college-educated voters that make up a key piece of the GOP base.

Donald Trump calls her record unimpressive.

More broadly, Clinton argued Thursday that Trump’s economic plan is weighted too heavily toward helping the wealthy and corporations and that it would “balloon the national debt”.

At an appearance in Miami Beach, Florida, hours before Clinton’s speech, Trump said his rival “wants to tax and regulate our economy to death”. He then said there was no way people would be able to stop a President Clinton from stacking the Supreme Court with anti-gun justices, before adding, “Although the Second Amendment people, maybe there is – I don’t know”.

Clinton and Trump are battling for the hearts and minds of working-class voters who feel they aren’t getting ahead amid the weakest US recovery since World War II.

Clinton said that $4 billion could instead be used to pay for veterans’ education, provide one year’s worth of healthcare to nearly 3 million children or fund a year’s worth of federal aid to state and local law enforcement.

Later Wednesday, Trump stirred up another fuss by calling President Barack Obama the “founder” of the Islamic State militant group – and Clinton its co-founder.

But he seemed to acknowledge the risk his campaign – and party – was taking.
