Clinton, Trump plan dueling economic speeches from Detroit in coming days
The two major-party presidential candidates are advertising dueling economic speeches this week both set to be delivered from Detroit creating the prospect that policy differences will be aired alongside questions about the others temperament and mental health.
The campaign of Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton announced Sunday that she will give a major speech Thursday, promising a clear contrast from Republican Donald Trump and a focus on building an economy that works for everyone, not just those at the top.
Clintons speech will serve as a rebuttal to an economic address Trump is scheduled to deliver Monday to members of the Detroit Economic Club. Aides have said that the speech and other upcoming policy addresses will target average voters rather than think-tank types.
Trumps address Monday also presents an opportunity to change the subject from the previous week, which was dominated by a series of controversies, including the real estate moguls continued back-and-forth with parents who lost their son in combat and Trump's hesitancy to endorse House Speaker Paul D. Ryan (R-Wis.) in his upcoming primary.
