Trump_&_Clinton

We have now reached the 50-day mark, and the lead that Clinton had over Donald Trump has ebbed away over the last ten days. Her comments on Trump’s supporters, her collapse at a 9/11 memorial and the recent suspected terrorist attacks in New York have all eaten away at her lead and, unless she performs well in the debates, Clinton might miss out on the presidency in an election that had been called hers to lose.

NEWS IN BRIEF

  • Hillary Clinton sparks controversy after describing half of Trump’s supporters as a ‘basket of deplorables’.
  • Clinton collapsed during a 9/11 memorial and was diagnosed with pneumonia – fuelling criticism from the Trump camp that Clinton is unfit to hold public office. Trump later revealed his health records, with his doctor claiming he is in excellent health, despite being overweight.
  • Third-party candidates Gary Johnson and Jill Stein have been officially excluded from the first of the presidential debates, after neither reached the 15% watermark required. Polls indicted Johnson managed only just over half the support required, at 8.4%. Stein was polling at 3.2%.
  • Trump, one of the most outspoken members of the false ‘birther’ movement, has conceded that Barack Obama was born in the United States, but claimed that Hillary Clinton founded the movement during her 2008 campaign for the Democratic nomination for president; there is no evidence to support his claim. The ‘birther’ movement had disputed that President Obama was born in Hawaii, instead claiming that he was born in Kenya.
  • A man has been arrested in connection with two bombings in New York City – no one was injured. The man was taken into custody after a shootout with police in New Jersey.
