Mrs. Clinton on Tuesday renewed her attacks on her Republican rival, calling him a “bully” who she said has mistreated women. He has “spent a lot of time demeaning, degrading, insulting and assaulting women,” the Democratic nominee told a crowd of nearly 1,600 at Pasco-Hernando State College here. “Who acts like this? I’ll tell you who: a bully.”
Mr. Trump, in a midday address in Pennsylvania, shifted his focus away from questions about Mrs. Clinton’s emails and instead delivered a speech calling for repeal of the Affordable Care Act. “Obamacare means higher prices, fewer choices and lower quality,” he said, promising to call a special session of Congress to spur action on repealing the health-care law. “It is a catastrophe,” he said.
The moves come as polls show the race tightening. The Real Clear Politics average of presidential polls on Tuesday showed Mrs. Clinton with a lead of just 2.2 percentage points now.
It is unclear if the shift in voter preferences is mostly a result of the Federal Bureau of Investigation saying on Friday that it had uncovered new emails that might be related to the review of Mrs. Clinton’s use of a personal email server in the State Department, or more a late move by Republican-leaning voters to Mr. Trump.
Mrs. Clinton’s Florida speech, which was echoed by her running mate, Sen. Tim Kaine, in a Wisconsin appearance, is part of a broader push by her campaign to regain the offensive after the FBI’s controversial announcement.
Her campaign also said Tuesday it was starting new ad campaigns in Colorado, Virginia, Michigan and New Mexico. The campaign hadn’t previously aired any ads in the latter two states, where polling shows Mrs. Clinton with strong leads. Those messages are being bolstered by a $6 million ad buy from Priorities USA Action, Mrs. Clinton’s allied super PAC, which expanded its buys in Florida and Pennsylvania, and for the first time bought ads in Wisconsin.
Mr. Trump is also trying to broaden his attack geographically. After his Pennsylvania speech, he traveled to Wisconsin for a rally in a state that has been considered a long shot. And his campaign said it was adding Michigan and New Mexico to the list of states where it would buy home-stretch TV ads.
But Mr. Trump’s travel schedule also reflects pressure on him to do better in the largest, most competitive states: He is making four stops in Florida over two days starting Wednesday, and making two stops in North Carolina on Thursday.
