Obama continues to back FBI Director Comey

She knows it. The FBI knows it. The people know it. “Comey appears to have done Clinton real damage”, she added.

“We have got to rise above all of this”, she told a cheering crowd in Pittsburgh.

In the day and hours leading up to Tuesday, both candidates kept up a steady stream of events in which they repeated oft-mentioned campaign slogans and themes to try gain support – or defend what they have – in key battleground states such as Florida and MI.

Clinton was greeted by a throng of supporters upon her return home at the Westchester airport, in NY, where she landed just after 3:30 a.m. ET.

Mr Trump planned to keep up the breakneck campaign pace throughout today after voting in NY yesterday morning.

“Based on the public details of the case, there’s no excuse to not have de-duplicated Clinton’s emails before informing members of Congress“, he said. Mr Miller called for the Federal Bureau of Investigation to release the newly-discovered emails belonging to aide Huma Adebin.

“The president is entirely confident that Director Comey is not using his authority to advantage a particular political candidate or a particular political party”, Earnest told reporters aboard Air Force One.

The letter also drew fresh criticism from lawmakers who said the new email review, announced in a vague letter to Congress on October 28, shouldn’t have been made public so close to the election and created unnecessary suspicion.

In a video message set to air during two prime-time television reaching millions of viewers, Clinton warned, “Our core values are being tested in this election”.

Comey has already said that investigators found classified emails on Clinton’s server, and that although Clinton and her aides had been “extremely careless” in their handling of classified information, there was no evidence that anyone had willfully broken the law.

Clinton, Trump in Final Stretch FrenzyBoth Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are hitting several states Monday, trying to make a final push before Election Day. However, he sidestepped two questions about the level of Hispanic vote Trump needs to win the presidency.

Obama brought up Trump’s comments about immigrants, POWs and woman, saying being president is like “an EKG for your character”. He already must win almost all of the roughly dozen battleground states.

If Clinton wins the election, as polls suggest, she would also be in the position to fire Comey, but might not do so to avoid being portrayed as seeking political retaliation.

In the final weeks, Clinton has particularly touted her campaign’s Get Out the Vote and early voting campaigns, enlisting help from high-profile celebrities like Jennifer Lopez, Marc Anthony, Katy Perry and Jay-Z. She warned that President Barack Obama’s legacy was on the line, part of her strategy to shore up black voters who may be less enthusiastic about her than the president.

“We don’t have to accept a dark and divisive vision for America”, she said.

One of Hillary Clinton’s researchers thinks she know why the Democratic nominee lost the presidential election.

Mr Trump’s campaign manager Kellyanne Conway said Mr Trump planned to keep up the breakneck campaign pace through election day. She’s also making stops in MI and North Carolina. The state of New Hampshire is expected to declare shortly after. Critics lamented that the image of the country and the media – which has been accused of taking sides by Trump – was left severely dented by the feisty campaign.

“Whatever credibility I have earned after eight years as president, I am asking you to trust me on this”.

MI and OH were too close to call on Sunday, according to the project.

“We are going to have one of the great victories of all time”, he said, comparing it to the vote by the United Kingdom to leave the European Union “times 50”.
