Sept. 19 — Hillary Clinton spoke at a rally at Temple University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The Democratic nominee attempted to reach out to voters who don’t like Donald Trump or her. She urged voters to give both candidates a fair hearing and hold them accountable for their ideas. The former secretary of state went on to slam Trump for “a long history of racial discrimination in his businesses.”

Michael Bloomberg will endorse Hillary Clinton’s presidential bid during a primetime address at the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia this week, a top aide to the former New York City mayor said Sunday.
Bloomberg — who was a Democrat prior to his initial mayoral run in 2001 when he became a Republican, and then became an independent in 2007 — will explain his support for Clinton “from the perspective of a business leader and an independent,” Howard Wolfson, a senior adviser to Bloomberg, said in a statement.
“As the nation’s leading independent and a pragmatic business leader Mike has supported candidates from both sides of the aisle. This week in Philadelphia he will make a strong case that the clear choice in this election is Hillary Clinton,” Wolfson said.
Bloomberg is slated to speak Wednesday night, the same evening that President Obama and Vice President Biden are both scheduled to deliver speeches. Donald Trump must lose badly to abolish hate brewing in U.S.
In endorsing Clinton, Bloomberg adds his name to a growing list of Republican defectors who have refused to support GOP nominee Donald Trump this year.
Hank Paulson, the Treasury Secretary under President George W. Bush; Richard Armitage, an adviser to former President Ronald Reagan; and former New Jersey Gov. Christie Todd Whitman; as well as many others, have all said they’ll vote for Clinton over Trump.
Bloomberg had seriously mulled his own third-party run in 2016, but eventually decided to sit the race out, explaining that he did not want to risk splitting support among the two major parties and possibly ease the path to the White House for Donald Trump or Ted Cruz.

“As the race stands now, with Republicans in charge of both houses, there is a good chance that my candidacy could lead to the election of Donald Trump or Sen. Ted Cruz,” Bloomberg wrote in an Op-Ed for Bloomberg View. “That is not a risk I can take in good conscience.”
“(Trump) has run the most divisive and demagogic presidential campaign I can remember, preying on people’s prejudices and fears. Abraham Lincoln, the father of the Republican Party, appealed to our ‘better angels.’ Trump appeals to our worst impulses.”
Trump’s proposals to build a border wall and ban all Muslims from the U.S. “would divide us at home and compromise our moral leadership around the world,” Bloomberg wrote “The end result would be to embolden our enemies, threaten the security of our allies, and put our own men and women in uniform at greater risk.”
By contrast, Bloomberg’s predecessor as mayor, Rudy Giuliani, at the Republican National Convention last week, delivered a bombastic endorsement of Trump, praising police across the U.S. and promising, “What I did for New York, Donald Trump will do for America.

An 11-year-old girl from New York made her father drive to Philadelphia so that she could be present when Hillary Clinton accepts the Democratic Party’s nomination for president tonight. Sabbia Gale-Donnelly told ABC News that she thought Clinton represented “someone for me and my friends to look up to because she never quits.” She said that she admired Clinton, and believed that she stood up for women as a politician, and said that her candidacy proved that women “can do everything.” “I think she’s devoted her entire life to making things better for women,” Sabbia said of Clinton. She made a sign for the event based on the children’s book “The Little Engine That Could” that said “‘I think I can, I think I can, I think I can, I know I can, I know I can’ — because she can,” Sabbia said. She said that she didn’t know whether she wanted to follow in Clinton’s footsteps and enter politics, but her current interest could align with the historic occasion of Clinton being the first woman to be nominated for president by a major political party. “Right now, I really want to be a history teacher,” Sabbia said.

Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton has had previous health episodes similar to Sunday’s near collapse, according to her husband, former President Bill Clinton.

“Frequently… not frequently, that’s not a… rarely but on more than one occasion over the last many, many years the same sort of thing’s happened to her when she just got severely dehydrated. And she’s worked like a demon as you know as secretary of state and as a senator and in the years since,” Bill Clinton said in a televised interview.

Obama picks up the campaign baton
The US president stepped back onto the campaign trail while Hillary takes time off to rest at home and battle her bout of pneumonia.

Barack Obama spoke passionately to a crowd in Philadelphia to try and ensure the White House remains under Democratic control.

“To be president you have to do your homework and you have to know what you are talking about. And you have got to apply steady judgement even when things don’t go your way. And you’ve got to make the tough calls, even when they’re not popular.”

“And that’s what Hillary learned, as a senator and as a secretary of state, and as a first lady,” said Obama.

“And the time has come for me to pass the baton on, but I know that Hillary is going to take it and she is going to run that race, and she will finish that race, and she will finish that race. And that is why I’m with her. That’s why I’m fired up. That’s why I’m ready to go. And I need you to join me!,” Obama added.

Clinton is expected to return to the campaign trail later this week.
