| Clinton is in Detroit, motor city, going hard on Trump for using Chinese steel. | |
| “The steelworkers, they know that this is a big, big deal... [Trump] is putting steelworkers out of work and shutting down steel mills.. | |
| I do have some advice for Donald. If he wants to make America great again he can start by buying American steel for his construction project. | |
| “Friends don’t let friends vote for Trump,” she says. | |

| Trump is flying on Pence’s plane today – and no word on Pence’s ride, the press pool reports: | |
| Donald Trump disembarked here in Pittsburgh International at 3:15pm. He arrived in the plane typically used by Mike Pence. A campaign aide said Trump didn’t use his usual plane because of “crew rest issues.” Could not confirm how Pence is traveling today. | |
| Also spotted with Trump: Jared Kushner, Rudy Giuliani, Tiffany Trump, Stephen Miller, and Hope Hicks. | |
| The motorcade is now en route to Ambridge for the rally, which is open press. | |

| Here’s another elected Republican (after Mitch McConnell) with no comment on the presidential race: Representative Sean Duffy of Wisconsin’s 7th district (all of northern Wisconsin basically): | |
| Just talked to @RepSeanDuffy. He wouldn't tell me if he supports Trump as the nominee. Told me I should have called spokesman instead of him | |
| I asked @RepSeanDuffy the question about Trump four or five times before he hung up on me. https://t.co/FoMzwtNtwf | |

| Sessions: 'grab them by the pussy' not sexual assault | |
| Alabama senator Jeff Sessions, an early and ardent supporter of Donald Trump, has declared that what Trump described on the hot mic tape released Friday is not sexual assault. | |
| “I don’t characterize that as sexual assault,” he said. “I think that’s a stretch”: | |
| Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) says even if Trump had grabbed women by their genitals, it would not be sexual assault https://t.co/qVernRsGCK pic.twitter.com/cIjFzHsMbu | |
| A comparison has been drawn between Session’s parsing of sexual assault and the parsing by US senate candidate Todd Akin in 2012 of rape. Akin, a Republican who was trying to unseat incumbent Claire McCaskill, said that “if it’s a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down” – meaning pregnancy. | |
| McCaskill tweets that the comparisons are unfair... to Akin: | |
| That's not fair to Todd Akin. No comparison. This much worse. https://t.co/3a9EYqkoKT | |
