BANGOR, Maine (AP) — Donald Trump struck back at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Wednesday in a mostly rural area in Maine, where his message of economic populism could earn him a vote in the Electoral College.
Addressing a crowd of several thousand in an indoor arena, Trump blasted existing free trade deals and reiterated his pledge to label China a currency manipulator. And he took aim at the Chamber, a frequent Republican ally, for criticizing a speech he made Tuesday outlining his protectionist trade policies.
WASHINGTON (AP) — A single elevator could have accommodated the donors who recently gathered with Hillary Clinton at home of the Pritzker family in Chicago's Gold Coast neighborhood. Small in number, the group was big in largesse, contributing at least $1 million to help elect her and other Democrats this fall.
To raise that much money, it would have taken a 37,000-seat stadium of Bernie Sanders fans each chipping in the campaign's self-described average donation of $27.
