| Donald Trump asks people to vote for Represntative Darrell Issa, the former oversight committee chairman, who finds himself in a tough reelection battle in Orange county, California – in part owing to his support for Donald Trump. | |
| .@DarrellIssa is a very good man. Help him win his congressional seat in California. | |
| Issa has been a stalwart Trump backer, although he did release a statement criticizing the nominee after a video emerged in which Trump bragged about touching women’s genitals without consent. | |

| With Trump now spending on ads in Michigan and New Mexico, the Clinton campaign reports that it has made six-figure ad buys each in those states plus Colorado and Virginia. Team Clinton suggests they’re not playing defense in those states so much as burning the money they have to burn: | |
| Clinton camp says it raised a "record-breaking" $11.3 million online in the last 72 hours (basically since the FBI story broke) | |
| The Trump campaign says the Clinton campaign is “nervous” and playing defense: | |
| Someone at Hillary campaign seems nervous. They pulled out of CO and VA months ago. Have never run ads in MI and NV. On defense. https://t.co/5VRWs9M1zG | |

| Clinton camp claims no impact from FBI inquiry | |
| Dan Roberts | |
| Democrats have dismissed a poll suggesting that Donald Trump may have taken the lead in the final days before Tuesday’s election, insisting they see no evidence of a negative impact from new FBI email disclosures. | |
| Speaking as Hillary Clinton flew to Florida for a whirlwind series of campaign events, a senior campaign official conceded there was a tightening in the polls but only what they expected after the debates finished. | |
| Asked by reporters on the plane to respond specifically to a new ABC News/Washington Post tracking poll which put Trump one point ahead, the aide described it as “bad polling”. | |
| “It’s not what we see at all,” said the official. “There seems to be something about that model that seems odd. The race has tightened the way that we thought it would tighten, but we do not see anything that would suggest [the new tracking poll] is right.” | |
| Democrats also dispute the findings of several polls since Friday that the letter from FBI director James Comey has has had a negative marginal affect on voter enthusiasm for Clinton. | |
| “We do not see any evidence that the Comey story has had an impact,” said the aide. “We’ve seen anecdotal evidence about turnout and our voter registering, volunteer numbers, etc, that suggests that if anything it has encouraged our supporters.” | |
| Clinton is not expected to address the email question again on Tuesday during her three scheduled events in Florida, but aides defended her decision to begin her remarks twice in Ohio on Monday by raising the issue. | |
| “Obviously it is something that has got a lot of attention in the last few days, so we did think it was important for her to address” | |
| Instead, the focus in Florida is expected to be on reminding voters how much is at stake in next week’s election. | |
| “There is no state that is more important and we think it is a state that she will win and Donald Trump has to win,” said the aide. “If she wins Florida, that... will put her over the top.” | |
| Voters should also brace for a deluge of new advertising nationwide however as the Clinton campaign spends its remaining money on television commercials across the US. | |
| “You’ll see us back on the air in a lot of states over the last week or so,” said the aide who agreed only to speak anonymously to reporters on the plane. “We’ve been able to raise a lot of money and it’s the last week to spend it. So you’ll see us spending in a lot of states where we haven’t.” | |
