Trump hasn’t followed through on his $100 million commitment

Republican nominee Donald Trump narrowed Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton’s lead in the latest ABC News/Washington Post daily tracking poll Friday.

Pressed on whether he’ll open his wallet to match an onslaught of Clinton ads, Trump said he will have spent $100 million by Election Day.

In Iowa, Trump appears to have a more solid position, but he would need to run the board of swing states to win the White House. News coverage of Trump’s accusers had diminished, while Clinton confronted the nearly daily release by WikiLeaks of emails purportedly hacked from her campaign manager’s account.

Trump’s campaign manager, Kellyanne Conway, tweeted out a dig at the Clinton campaign after the new numbers were released. While Trump has repeatedly told supporters he’s willing to pump $100 million into the campaign, his contributions so far total just over $56 million.

Clinton’s camp said Friday’s report showed “real progress” since Obama took office in 2009, when the country was struggling to emerge from economic recession. She was up seven a week ago (49-42 per cent).

White House officials say Obama will be traveling to boost Clinton almost every day until Election Day, Nov. 8.

During the primary, Trump often mocked Bush for “low energy”, a remark that is now being directed at Clinton as Trump claims that the Democratic nominee doesn’t have the “strength or stamina” to serve as president.

“My forecast says that he’s going to win 52.5 percent of the two-party vote, that would give Hillary 47.5 percent”.

The president’s appearance comes a day after Clinton and first lady Michelle Obama held a joint campaign rally in North Carolina.

Mrs. Clinton still has substantial outside help. As she tried to make this point, the crowd erupted into singing her “Happy Birthday”.

Thousands of people chanting “lock her up”, as Trump mentioned Clinton’s thousands of deleted emails. But he lost that battle – which is used as another yardstick to measure electoral prospects – to his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton, who brought in almost twice as much, $57.2 million, over the same period.
