WASHINGTON (AP) — Hillary Clinton hauled in $143 million in August for her presidential bid and the Democratic party, her best month yet in a fundraising push that lays the groundwork for her fall campaign.
The Democratic nominee brought in $62 million for her campaign last month and another $81 million for the Democratic National Committee and state parties. Clinton begins September with more than $68 million in the bank for her campaign against rival Donald Trump.
ATLANTA (AP) — Donald Trump will visit a predominantly black church in Detroit this weekend and, his campaign says, "outline policies that will impact minorities and the disenfranchised in our country." It's the latest move in the Republican presidential nominee's outreach to non-whites.
The trip comes in response to sharp criticism from many African-Americans incensed by Trump's sweeping generalizations about black life in America. "You live in your poverty, your schools are no good, you have no jobs," he has argued to black voters. While he usually speaks to mainly white crowds, Detroit itself is 83 percent black.
