Hillary Clinton Raised $143 Million in August for Democrats and Her Campaign

Hillary Clinton is raising huge amounts of cash for the Democratic National Committee and state parties, according to figures released by her campaign on Wednesday, laying the groundwork for a substantial investment in swing states during the fall.

Clinton to air TV ads in Arizona

Several Hispanic Trump surrogates reconsider support

Several major Latino surrogates for Donald Trump are reconsidering their support for him following the Republican nominee’s hardline speech on immigration Wednesday night.
