Clinton, Trump make last-minute push for votes

“Markets have clearly favored Clinton and feared Trump”, Jason Pride, director of investment strategy at Glenmede, wrote in a note to clients.

Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump launched into the frenzied final day of their historic fight for the White House Monday, with blow-out rallies in the handful of swing states that will decide who leads the United States.

With the race now in its final stages, Clinton will be breathing a sigh of relief after FBI Director James B. Comey announced that no legal action will be taken against her following a review of newly discovered emails. Newt Gingrich, the former Republican Speaker, and key Trump ally, said: “We have drifted into an environment where if Hillary is elected, the criminal investigations will be endless”. It might have helped with a few Clinton voters who were thinking of voting for Hillary Clinton. I ask you to carry her the same way you carried me. The election would then be decided by the Republican-controlled U.S. House of Representatives, where lawmakers would have a three-way choice among Trump, Clinton and McMullin, a Utah native and former Central Intelligence Agency operative. While it vindicated her claims that the emails would not yield new evidence, it ensured that the final hours of her campaign would be spent talking about a subject that has damaged her credibility.

Clinton was en route to Cleveland on Sunday when Comey issued his letter.

You will recall that the Trump campaign was in near-meltdown before Comey’s October 28 missive about newly discovered emails on a computer apparently shared by Clinton aide Huma Abedin and her estranged husband, Anthony Weiner.

“This election is a moment of reckoning”, she told voters on Sunday night.

“I think that these splits, these divides that have been not only exposed but exacerbated by the campaign on the other side are ones that we really do have to. bring the country together”, Clinton said.

The same investigative team that worked the yearlong inquiry that was closed in July with Comey’s recommendation that criminal charges not be pursued, was largely the same group that completed the new review, with technical assistance drawn from across the Federal Bureau of Investigation and Justice Department, the official said.

“We need to be mindful of the fact that they’re going to continue, they won’t quit, they’re going to continue to throw mud”, he said of the press, adding that Clinton supporters need to “defend her and her legacy and the kind of person she is”.

Since then, national polls and those in battleground states indicated a tightening race for the White House and for several competitive Senate seats.

While the sad song has already been sung for Democrats everywhere, and many must endure a long four years they never thought imaginable, there is something to be learned in terms of Comey and his decision to make a blanket statement to the American people.

“The media always covered her as the person who would be president and therefore tried to eviscerate her before the election, but covered Trump who was someone who was entertaining and sort of gave him a pass”, Podesta said. The FBI director, who occupies a non-political post, was meddling in politics by treating Clinton differently from others who are investigated but not prosecuted.

On Tuesday when Americans go to vote, both Clinton and Trump would still have hopes of winning.

The new review involved material found on a computer belonging to Anthony Weiner, the disgraced former congressman and estranged husband of Clinton aide Huma Abedin. The Republican has a narrow path to victory that requires him to win almost all of the roughly dozen battleground states up for grabs.

Clinton’s team is taking no chances, which accounts for the Democratic nominee’s multiple stops in MI, a blue-leaning state the campaign had considered safe.

Clinton was to make two stops in Pennsylvania and visit MI on Monday before wrapping up with a midnight rally in Raleigh, North Carolina.
