President Obama Rallies For Hillary Clinton At UNC

All political eyes were on North Carolina, which is an all-important swing state. That would make her African-American margins and the overall black turnout critical in Florida, Michigan, North Carolina, Ohio and Pennsylvania.

With less than a week until Election Day, both candidates are warning of dire consequences if the other is elected.

Also campaigning in Florida on Thursday, Trump warned that Clinton’s election would lead to a crisis, given the FBI’s decision to examine newly discovered emails possibly tied to the bureau’s closed investigation into Clinton.

But those numbers won’t make Obama feel good next year if he’s watching President Trump and Republicans dismantle eight years of hard work.

She then weighed in on the recent MS church arson case, saying it should “not be normal” for people to paint “Vote Trump” on the side of a church before setting it on fire.

Vice President Joe Biden campaigned in Charlotte Tuesday, while Clinton running mate Tim Kaine made two North Carolina stops on Monday.

Trump can’t win without carrying Florida, so Clinton can deliver a knockout blow if she captures the state’s 29 electoral votes.

Clinton remains ahead in most poll-based forecasts, but on Tuesday an ABC News/Washington Post tracking poll gave Trump a narrow lead, sending shock waves through nervous markets.

In addition to using Obama as a validator (she has often reminded Democrats that the president thought highly enough of her to ask her to be his secretary of state), Clinton has also cast herself as the true defender of Obama’s policies on issues ranging from Obamacare to gun control.

While Clinton’s newest email controversy may help Trump pick up support in older, whiter states like OH and Iowa, the Republican nominee still faces a narrow pathway to winning the 270 electoral votes – one that includes defending states like Arizona and Utah that Republicans have won for decades. And on Wednesday morning, she stopped at an early voting state in a largely Caribbean-American neighborhood. Will they show the same enthusiasm for Clinton?

The Democrat’s campaign once hoped to bank substantial votes from Democrats in North Carolina and Florida before Election Day. “And you better believe he is being heard loudly and clearly”. Trump directed his message at those voters at a rally in Jacksonville, where he zeroed in on questions of Clinton’s trustworthiness and a new Federal Bureau of Investigation review of an aide’s emails.

This week, guests at Clinton events have included former Miss Universe Alicia Machado, whom Trump criticized after she gained weight, as well as Bruce Blair, a former ballistic missile launch officer who said he would “live in constant fear” if Trump were president.

Obama has been trying to bait Republican into veering off message – counting on Trump not to have the discipline or the ground game to capitalize on a late surge. Clinton planned to travel to the Detroit area as well on Friday. “If he doesn’t respect all Americans, how can we trust him to serve all Americans?” “This is someone who at another rally said to himself: ‘stay on point, Donald, stay on point.’ His campaign probably put that in the teleprompter”. While she has never outright called him a racist, Clinton has continually painted the Republican nominee as racist and sexist, and has said repeatedly that he lacks the temperament to be commander in chief. Their message is consistent: Clinton will fight for the black community, while Republican Donald Trump would turn back the clock for voters that helped propel Obama to comfortable national victories. The balance of power in Congress could have profound consequences for the future of health care in America, among other policy debates.
