Saturday afternoon, a spokesperson for the Clinton campaign made a statement.
“Three advance staffers had personal belongings, including backpacks and computers, stolen from their vehicle. According to the Philadelphia police commissioner, this appears to be a routine theft, and local law enforcement is handling the matter. We have confidence they will resolve it.”
According to Philly , the vehicle was not labeled as a Clinton campaign vehicle , so it is unknown whether or not the person or persons responsible for the theft knew that the laptops were connected to Hillary Clinton. Commissioner Richard Ross does not believe that it was a targeted theft. Police were advised that the bags were in plain view.
Investigators have revealed that the thief was wearing a grey sweatshirt, blue jeans, and white tennis shoes. He was noticed leaving the scene with three backpacks. It was not revealed how investigators came to this conclusion, but Ross did say that he anticipates a photo of the suspect will be released.
Philly revealed that Clinton was to be attending a Katy Perry Concert on Saturday night. On Monday, Hilary Clinton is scheduled to attend an election-eve event with her family and President Obama. It has not been revealed whether this theft has changed any of her plans.
According to Telegraph , even after the latest email scandal, Hillary Clinton is still fighting for the support from key battleground states . While Trump is carrying the win in more states, the key battleground states are showing a major tossup between the two presidential nominees.
Currently, neither candidate has a significant lead in swing states, such as Arizona, Florida, Ohio, Virginia, or North Carolina. Ohio is showing a vague lead by Hillary, while Trump is holding a small lead in North Carolina.
Hillary Clinton is pulling ahead in Virginia, and Trump is starting to obtain a somewhat significant lead in Arizona. Arizona has one of the largest Hispanic populations in the U.S., and it would be a major breakthrough for Trump to win the electoral votes in Arizona.
California will provide the most electoral votes among all the states. Currently, Hillary Clinton has a significant lead in California. Trump, on the other hand, has Texas in the bag, which will give him 38 electoral votes easily.
According to the Morning Call, the race in Pennsylvania is very close . Currently, Hillary has a six-point lead against Donald Trump in Pennsylvania, but Trump still has a chance to pull through. However, Pennsylvania is one state that has not shown a significant change since the release of Hillary Clinton’s email leaks by WikiLeaks.
Clinton is dominating Philadelphia and the southeast, while Trump has the support of the rest of the state, according to Chris Borick, director of the Muhlenberg College Institute of Public Opinion.
“Trump is primed to have a very good night in many parts of the state, but one area where he needs a very good night is the one that remains the most troubling, and that’s the Philadelphia suburbs.”
There is fear of potential violence outbreaks at polling sites on election day. While Hillary will be with President Obama rallying in Philadelphia on Monday, Donald Trump will be in Allegheny County on Sunday night, followed by Scranton on Monday.
