The race for the White House has narrowed. A new Fox News Poll finds Donald Trump gaining ground in the head-to-head matchup, despite improvements from Hillary Clinton on top issues.

Trump relying on RNC for Hispanic outreach

In speeches and on social media, Donald Trump has ramped up his outreach to minorities, including Hispanics, but the GOP presidential nominee is relying on efforts already put in place by the Republican National Committee to reach Latino voters.
