Donald Trump confronted head-on allegations that he is racist on Thursday, defending his hard-line approach to immigration while trying to make the case to minority voters that Democrats have abandoned them. His poll numbers slipping behind Hillary Clinton's with less than three months until Election Day, Trump tried to get ahead of the Democratic nominee, who addressed a rally in Reno, Nevada minutes later, warning that the Republican Party is being taken over by "a radical fringe," motivated by "prejudice and paranoia."
Mylan Pharmaceuticals said Thursday that it would be giving a $300 "savings card" discount for a two-pack of EpiPens amid pressure to cut the price of the drug.

Less than a month after receiving a $200,000 donation from mega-donors Robert and Diana Mercer, the super PAC backing Senator John McCain's Republican primary opponent, Kelli Ward, reported paying $450,000 to Cambridge Analytica, the 'psychographic' data firm owned by Robert Mercer. Ward has been largely unable to persuade donors and outside groups to make significant investments in her long-shot candidacy, so the Mercers' $200,000 donation to KelliPAC on July 22 was notable.
CNN released a new poll Wednesday evening showing John McCain leading Kelli Ward in the August 30 Arizona Senate primary by 26 points . If the CNN poll is accurate, it would seem that McCain's antagonistic relationship with Donald Trump hasn't hurt him a bit in his home state.
Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton called on pharmaceutical company Mylan NV to voluntarily drop the price of its severe allergy treatment drug EpiPen, which has increased in price by more than 400 percent in the past decade. "That's outrageous - and it's just the latest troubling example of a company taking advantage of its consumers," Clinton said in a statement.
With all the attention being paid to the Clinton Foundation, a much bigger and more troubling story about Hillary Clinton is largely being ignored - a dramatic and potentially damaging shift on trade. Last October, when Clinton signaled her opposition to the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal, the Democratic presidential candidate said that while the version of the TPP negotiated by the Obama administration fell short, she still believed "in the goal of a strong and fair trade agreement in the Pacific as part of a broader strategy both at home and abroad."

The Republican presidential nominee drew loud cheers from a crowd in Jackson, Mississippi, on Wednesday when he declared that Democrats have taken minorities' support for granted.

CHICAGO – Higher prices and fewer choices on the Illinois marketplace under President Barack Obama's health insurance law will make choosing a plan for 2017 a potentially frustrating experience for families who buy their own coverage, according to information released Wednesday by the Illinois Department of Insurance. Statewide, an average price increase of 43 percent is ahead for a popular type of middle-tier coverage used as a benchmark under the health law, the department said.
Donald Trump suggested Wednesday that he would allow exceptions to let some undocumented immigrants to stay in the US, vowing he wouldn't grant them citizenship but telling Fox News, "there's no amnesty, but we work with them."
