WASHINGTON Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump invoked religion, talked of unifying Americans and tried to raise doubts about whether Democratic rival Hillary Clinton can be trusted in a new campaign stump speech unveiled on Tuesday.
“I will fight for Detroit, for Chicago, for Baltimore, and for every neglected part of this nation — and I will fight to bring us all together as one American people,” Trump told a packed rally in Greenville, North Carolina, in a departure from his typical bare-knuckled approach.
Both Clinton and her running mate, Tim Kaine, blasted Trump. Clinton focused on Trump’s past bankruptcies and his refusal to release his tax records. “He clearly has something to hide. We don’t know exactly what it is, but we’re getting better guesses about what it probably is,” she said in Tampa, Florida.
Kaine, speaking in Wilmington, North Carolina, criticised Trump’s business dealings with Russia, the ties between some of his campaign advisers to the country and Trump’s suggestion that he hoped Russian hackers could find missing emails from when Clinton was secretary of state.
