Trump: Clinton ‘wasting her time’ in Michigan

Donald Trump late Saturday panned Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton’s added stops in Michigan in the final days of the election campaign, arguing she is “wasting her time.”

“Michigan was never really in play for a Republican. But you know what? It’s in play for us. Because all of their cars are being made now in Mexico,” Trump told an audience in Denver.

“I think she’s wasting her time,” Trump, the Republican presidential nominee, said.

“I think, rather than going to Michigan, she ought to go home and relax,” he said.

Trump has made a recent push for support in the Midwest state, holding a pair of rallies there last Monday while his running mate, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, campaigned there on Friday.

Clinton’s campaign announced Saturday that she would visit the state on Monday, while former President Bill Clinton would visit Sunday and President Obama on Monday.

A Republican presidential candidate has not won Michigan since 1988, and polls have shown Hillary Clinton with a consistent lead there, though some recent polling has indicated a tightened race.

Clinton has sought to shore up support among black voters in several battleground states amid a tightening in polls. Still, reports have indicated a rise in early voting among Hispanics, a potential bright spot for Democrats.
