Bill Clinton to join organized labor for parade in Detroit
“It’s kind of interesting to have all the planes here on the same tarmac”, Kaine said after he and Clinton greeted supporters.
The plane accommodates the Clinton traveling press corps, an arrangement in keeping with past campaigns that reporters have been requesting for months.
Their planes parked on the same tarmac, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton made competing Labor Day pitches in OH on Monday, setting the stage for a critical month in their testy presidential campaign.
Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway used the latest Hillary Clinton coughing fit to hammer Clinton over her lack of transparency, joking on Twitter that Hillary “Must be allergic to media”.
Trump, it turns out, was also in the swing state of OH on Labor Day with his vice-presidential candidate Mike Pence. “Just shows you how important OH is”.
Clinton made her way to the press section in the back of the plane just before the plane took off for Cleveland, where she appeared at a Labor Day festival with her running mate, Virginia Sen.
Clinton powered through a coughing fit at a Labor Day festival at a Cleveland park, sharply criticizing Trump’s recent trip to Mexico as “an embarrassing global incident”.
Donald Trump, presidential candidate and luxury-jet owner, tried to make a campaign issue of Clinton’s new mode of transport. Polls show Trump trailing Clinton in a series of must-win battleground states, meaning the debates could be his best chance at reorienting the race.
But, the flight to Cleveland, Ohio marked the first time she had been on the same plane as press reporters.
Clinton will have millions of dollars at her disposal this fall to air television advertising and power a sophisticated get-out-the vote operation in key states.
The brand new campaign plane is a Boeing 737 emblazoned with the campaign’s “H” logo on its wing tips and tail in a scion blue.
Democratic presidential nominee former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton greets staff aboard her new campaign plane at Westchester County Airport on September 5, 2016 in White Plains, New York. “No, really. And I’ll come back to talk to you”.
Upon departing, he took questions from reporters on his plane, saying that job creation will be his big campaign message for the day and that he looks forward to the upcoming debates with Clinton.
It has been several months since Clinton last held a full-fledged news conference, a dynamic that has been in the news lately and has served as a talking point for Republican critics.
Clinton has a almost two minute long coughing fit Monday while speaking at an event in Ohio.
