Trump raises about half as much as Clinton in campaign final weeks finance reports show<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Trump raises about half as much as Clinton in campaign final weeks finance reports show:-<\/strong> Donald Trump raised about half as much as Hillary Clinton for his presidential campaign in the first 19 days of October, putting him at a severe financial disadvantage in the crucial final days of the White House contest, new campaign finance reports filed late Thursday show.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Republican nominee raised just $28.9 million for his campaign committee over that period, according to filings with the Federal Election Commission. His campaign and two joint GOP fundraising committees raised a total of $61 million in the first 19 days of the month — a fall-off from September, when the three committees together pulled in $100 million, including $53 million for the Trump campaign. Trump had just $16 million in his campaign coffers on Oct. 19, compared to Hillary Clinton\u2019s $62 million.<\/span><\/p>\n

And there was scant evidence that the real estate billionaire will end up giving the $100 million he has claimed he is donating to his bid. Trump gave his campaign about $31,000 in in-kind contributions in the first 19 days of the month \u2014 down from the $2 million a month in cash he had been donating. His personal contributions to his campaign now total a little more than $56 million.<\/span><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Clinton\u2019s already-robust fundraising ratcheted up even more this month. The Democratic nominee\u2019s campaign and two joint fundraising committees with the party together pulled in $101 million in the 19-day stretch. At the same time, Clinton\u2019s campaign shelled out $54 million \u2013 a slower spending rate than the previous month. That gave her a hefty stockpile of cash as she heads into the final weeks of the campaign: more than $153 million.<\/span><\/p>\n

Campaigning Thursday in North Carolina with 12 days until the presidential election, Clinton cautioned her supporters against complacency because, she said, the contest against Trump is likely to be closer than the latest polls suggest.<\/span><\/p>\n

Clinton, appearing on the campaign trail for the first time with first lady Michelle Obama, urged voters to stay engaged and vote because the outcome remains uncertain.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cLet\u2019s go out and win this election!\u201d she exclaimed at a rally at Wake Forest University in front of about 11,000 people. \u201cLet\u2019s make sure we vote early. Vote as soon as you can. Vote this afternoon!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Obama also warned supporters to stay engaged, accusing Republicans of actively seeking to suppress turnout by making the election \u201cso dirty and ugly that we don\u2019t want any part of it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Clinton is hoping that some of Obama\u2019s magnetism and support among young people and <\/span>African Americans can help consolidate a lead in North Carolina. Obama has emerged as probably the Democrats\u2019 most powerful and effective voice opposing Trump, and Clinton frequently quotes the first lady\u2019s admonition to \u201cgo high\u201d when critics \u201cgo low.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Later in the evening, Clinton took her early voting message to two college campuses in Greensboro — the University of North Carolina and North Carolina A&T, which was holding its homecoming pep rally.<\/span><\/p>\n

In Ohio, Trump suggested Thursday night that a video of him speaking in vulgar terms about kissing, groping and trying to have sex with women may have been released illegally, and he didn\u2019t rule out suing NBC for its release.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cCertainly it was an illegal act,\u201d Trump told Fox News in an interview, adding later that the video \u201cwas not supposed to be on.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Trump would not say whether he planned to take legal action against NBC Universal, which owns \u201cAccess Hollywood,\u201d the program that was filming Trump when he was recorded in 2005.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWell, you\u2019ll see, you\u2019ll see,\u201d he said. \u201cYou\u2019re going to see after the election, but I will tell you, first of all, it shouldn\u2019t have been said, but it was locker room talk. And, yeah, I mean you know we\u2019re gonna find out soon enough. I will tell you.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

As Trump was being interviewed, an airplane carrying Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, the Republican vice presidential candidate, skidded off the runway at LaGuardia Airport in New York. Reporters traveling with Pence said there were no injuries, but a CNN reporter said she saw what appeared to be damage to the runway.<\/span><\/p>\n

Trump mentioned the incident during an event in Geneva, Ohio. \u201cAnd by the way, I just spoke to our future vice president, and he\u2019s okay… Everybody\u2019s fine.\u201d Trump said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pence said in a tweet that he was \u201cSo thankful everyone on our plane is safe. Grateful for our first responders & the concern & prayers of so many. Back on the trail tomorrow!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Trump spent the day seeking to build on a reed-thin lead during three campaign stops in the battleground state \u2014 and even suggested that the election should be scrapped.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe should just cancel the election and just give it to Trump, right?\u201d he asked supporters while campaigning in this midwestern industrial city. \u201cWhat are we even having it for? Her policies are so bad!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Trump said that he would reopen federal investigations into her use of a private email server when she was secretary of state and her family\u2019s charitable foundation.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHillary Clinton put the office of secretary of state up for sale,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd if she got the chance, she\u2019d put the Oval Office up for sale.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

At an event in Springfield, Trump claimed again that Clinton appeared \u201ctired\u201d during the debates. Calling his rival \u201ca low energy person,\u201d Trump seemed to imply that Clinton was on the verge of needing physical assistance.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI watched after the last debate and after the second debate. She was tired, wow,\u201d Trump said. \u201cShe walked off that stage, of course she had a lot of people around; they had a lot of people around her, which was smart.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

No evidence has emerged that Clinton was suffering physically during or after the debates.<\/span><\/p>\n

Trump also took aim at the Clintons\u2019 charitable foundation and financial dealings, pointing to private communications released by the anti-secrecy group WikiLeaks, including a memo by top Bill Clinton aide Doug Band.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe more emails WikiLeaks releases, the more lines between the Clinton Foundation, the secretary of state\u2019s office and the Clintons\u2019 personal finances, they all get blurred,\u201d Trump said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Band\u2019s memo detailed what he called \u201cClinton Inc.,\u201d a web of lucrative business ventures and overlapping charitable work. The memo was discovered in hacked emails from John Podesta, who is now chairman of Hillary Clinton\u2019s campaign.<\/span><\/p>\n

In an interview published Thursday by Billboard magazine, Bill Clinton weighed in on Trump\u2019s criticisms, saying that the attacks on his foundation are frustrating.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s hard to hear because I know good and well that a lot of the people that are saying it know it\u2019s not true. It\u2019s an insult to all the people who have worked there,\u201d he said in a profile of the former president\u2019s charity and its ties to top performing artists, including Jon Bon Jovi.<\/span><\/p>\n

Polling released Thursday afternoon by Quinnipiac University showed the tick-tock nature of the race in the closing days. According to the poll, Trump holds a one-point edge over Clinton in Georgia \u2014 44 percent to 43 percent \u2014 but they\u2019re tied at 44 percent each in Iowa. In North Carolina, Clinton holds a four-point advantage (47 percent to 43 percent), while she holds a 12-point edge in Virginia.<\/span><\/p>\n

Clinton tops Trump 48 percent to 42 percent among likely voters in the tracking poll conducted jointly by The Washington Post and ABC News. Clinton\u2019s margin in the survey has barely changed from her 47-43 edge in a mid-October Post-ABC poll, but is less than the double-digit leads in earlier waves of the tracking survey reported by ABC News through Monday.<\/span><\/p>\n
