Clinton Rallies and Secured Democratic Vote as Terror Attack Threats Intensifies

In the latest electoral survey, the Republican candidate Donald Trump gained more likely voters. However, the Democratic flag bearer, Hillary Clinton rallies in states which considered to safe for Democrats.

According to BBC, both parties concentrate on convincing their supporters to vote rather than influencing the ‘undecided’.

In an early election, 37 million voters cast their votes.

Threats of Terrorism

US Law enforcements received intelligent reports of any Al-Queda terrorism-related attack. The report “lacks specificity” according to a police spokesman.

However, authorities believed that New York, Texas and Virginia, amongst the potential targets for the attack. They constantly evaluate all possible terror threats prior to major national events

Possible terror attack news intensifies as both Clinton and Trump plan their final campaign march in battleground states across the country.

The two presidential candidates campaign in Ohio and Pennsylvania. According to poll surveys released on Tuesday, the two states are crucial battlegrounds for the election.

Two candidates battle out

In one of his campaign, Trump’s showed his downright opposition to Clinton’s foreign policy on Syria He told a group of supports that Clinton wants “550% increase” of refugees in Syria coming into the US.

The real estate mogul said, “Her plan would mean generations of terrorism, extremism, and radicalism spreading into our schools and communities”.

On the other hand, Clinton’s rebuttal for Trump’s attack on her is his temperament and judgmental comments about women and minority groups. She told her supporters in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania that Trump was “unfit” to be the next president because of his behavior.

John Podesta, the Democrats campaign head joined the heated rebuttal of the two presidentiables. Podesta said that Trump should ask the New Jersey’s Governor, Chris Christie to resign his post. Christie also acts as the head of the Republican candidate’s transition team.

Christie’s two aides were found guilty in scheming traffic jams in New Jersey. An act considered spreading political turmoil against a local Democratic mayor. Christie denied any participation in the deed.

Trump leads the way in Ohio, according to Real Clear Politics, the state polling agency. Meanwhile, Clinton leads the election in a small fringe in Pennsylvania.

Recent national polls indicate that the Republican candidate gained momentum in several battlegrounds in the last few weeks.

Clinton struggles

Clinton struggles within the last few weeks of the electoral race because of her rough relationship with the FBI. The agency presses on their investigation regarding Clinton’s private email used when she was still the Secretary of State during the Obama administration.

In July, the FBI looked into her private email use but did not charge her for any illegal misconduct. Clinton said she is sure that the new probe will not affect FBI’s original assessment on her.

Furthermore, Clinton’s camp questioned FBI’s ill timing of the announcement of their investigation. Two senior Democrats requested for an investigation of the former New York Mayor and Trump surrogate, Rudy Giuliani’s role in the FBI probe.

On Friday morning, Guiliani’s interview with Fox News indicated he knew about the probe even before FBI announced the news. He said, “I had no role in it. Did I hear about it? You’re darn right I heard about it.”

Later that day, Democratic Members, Elijah Cummings and John Conyers, requested the Justice Department to investigate Giuliani’s source of information. In the letter they wrote, “Leaking this information to former FBI officials as a conduit to the Trump campaign is equally intolerable”.

Guiliani told CNN that “No, I’ve spoken to no current FBI agents’, and denied all allegations that he had any knowledge of the investigation.

African-American Historic Church Burned and Marked with “Vote Trump”

The Hopewell Missionary Baptist Church in Mississippi set on fire with “Vote Trump” painted on its wall. Police officials considered it as an arson case as what appears to be an election-related hate crime.

On Wednesday afternoon, Ruben Brown Sr., the Greenville Fire Chief said at a news conference that the 111-year-old African-America historic church was “intentionally set.” The Fire Chief told reporters that “Samples and evidence have been collected from inside the church and are being analyzed to determine the accelerant or ignition source”.

Fortunately, no one was injured during the fire on Tuesday night but the church was severely damaged.

Hate Crime

The Greenville Police Chief Delando Wilson released a statement on Wednesday morning that they are “investigating this as a hate crime”. He added, “We feel that the quote on the church is intimidating. It tries to push your beliefs on someone else, and this is a predominantly black church and no one has a right to try to influence the way someone votes in this election.”

Police authorities interviewed a “person of interest” on Wednesday night regarding the fire. According to Chief Wilson, the police did not charge the individual.

Trump Rallies as Clinton’s Lead Now Just 2.5 Percent

On Saturday, the Washington Post/ABC News survey showed that Donald Trump was fast gaining on Hillary Clinton. He has cut her lead to 2.5%, in less than 2 weeks before the November 8 election. The Democratic candidate still leads at 47% backing of likely voters while the Republican flag bearer is at 45%.

Momentum Gained

The new national poll indicated a close two-point margin; a score which appropriately falls within the 3% point margin of error. The new poll has a huge contrast compared to ABC’s national poll from last weekend. The poll shows a remarkable lead of Clinton ranging from 38 to 50 percent.

It was a massive momentum gained by Trump in the past few months of the campaign election coming from a double-digit difference from his opponent.

In spite of the close call in the race, 59 percent of voters assume Clinton will win as the 45th President of the United States. Out of these voters, 90% firmly believed she will win the election.

With that forecast, 2% of Clinton’s likely voters say their expectation is giving them less reason to vote. Meanwhile, the other 2% of voters who believed Trump will win will probably vote for that same reason.

FBI Investigation may shape election

The survey performed earlier this week, before the Federal Bureau of Investigation released news about Clinton’s controversial private email. The FBI is closely examining the Democratic flag bearer’s email server.

Likewise, the investigation may affect the election outcome. Trump might get an advantage on Clinton’s leaked email woes. On one of the emails from Clinton’s aide, Huma Abedin and her husband, the troubled ex-representative of New York, Anthony Weiner of New York contains Trump statements about the probe. The Republican candidate said regarding on the FBI investigation, “This changes everything”.

The Washington Post/ABC News poll was done from October 25 to 27, in 1,779 adult correspondents, with 1,148 likely voters. The survey has a 2.5 point margin of error either way.

Trump: I Will Totally Accept Election Result…If I Win

Donald Trump said today that is now prepared to accept the result of the US presidential elections…as long as he is the winner.

During yesterday’s live presidential TV debate he indicated that he may not accept the result if rival Hillary Clinton topped the polls saying: “I will look at it at the time.”

Speaking to supporters in Delaware, Ohio, he hit out at critics who are angry at his refusal to publicly state that he is prepared to accept the election result whatever the outcome.

Trump said he was unwilling to waive his right to contest the election if he saw fit to do so.

He told the Delaware rally: “I would like to promise and pledge to all of my voters and supporters and to all of the people of the United States that I will totally accept the results of this great and historic presidential election, if I win.

“Of course, I would accept a clear election result, but I would also reserve my right to contest or file a legal challenge in the case of a questionable result.”

Both Republicans and Democrats were taken aback by Trump’s refusal to categorically state that he is willing to abide by the results of the November 8 election.

Previously he has repeatedly claimed that the election has been rigged against him.

Trump compared his situation to that of the 2000 election when when Al Gore demanded a recount in several counties after the results of the election in Florida were very close.

He said: “If Al Gore or George Bush had agreed three weeks before the election to concede results and waived their right to a legal challenge or a recount then there would be no Supreme Court case.”
