US Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s campaign director Kellyanne Conway said on Sunday that “this election doesn’t feel over”, although she admitted that “we are behind” the real-estate magnate’s Democratic rival Hillary Clinton.
Despite Trump’s claims of a “rigged” election, nearly 80 percent of voters are confident that their vote will be correctly counted. Because this system is totally rigged’. Hillary Clinton has a 6.6-percentage-point lead in the popular vote and an 87 percent chance of winning the Electoral College, according to our polls-only forecast. Clinton leads Trump with men 44%-41%.
A message left with Clinton’s campaign Saturday was not immediately returned.
A U.S. opinion poll average run by The New York Times puts Clinton’s lead at 6.1%.
Trump visited the Civil War battlefield in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania on Saturday, after laying out his goals for his first 100 days as president. But an unperturbed Trump, 70, said that he is on his “way to the White House”. “And she said, ‘Donald, no matter what happens, we need to work together afterwards'”.
Also yesterday, Vice President Joe Biden got down and dirty, suggesting he’d like to challenge Trump to a schoolyard brawl over his caught-on-tape groping comments – using the kind of violent rhetoric that usually lands the casino and real estate mogul in hot water. “So women who’ve come out and complained about his activities with respect to them and continuing this thing about going after his political opponents”, Kaine said.
At the rally in Florida, Trump said that women voters are supporting him more than men. We’re going to have…believe me, this is Brexit times five.
She was also out ahead of Trump in Texas, according to YouGov.
With only 17 days left until the presidential election, both candidates are focusing on the crucial swing states. “You know people get jealous and they hate you”, Trump was quoted as saying. He said Mr Trump would only fight if the election were close and is not trying to dispute a fair election. I am reaching out to all Americans, Democrats, Republicans, Independents. I keep hearing that.
On Sunday, President Barack Obama will take part in a pro-Clinton rally in Nevada, another battleground state that could sway the final results of the hotly-contested election.
“We know in our country the difference between leadership and dictatorship, right?”
And Clinton, 68, has said she does not want to respond to the remarks of Trump anymore and called his refusal to accept the results of the election unacceptable. He has not offered evidence and numerous studies have shown that the USA election system, which is decentralised and run by the states, is sound.
When Trump insulted the “biased media”, he jokingly pointed out an example of how they are tougher on him than others.
