Donald Trump’s campaign manager said Friday that the anti-Trump, negative turn that Hillary Clinton has taken in her campaign in recent days is “even sadder” because it “comes from a woman.” Kellyanne Conway, who is the first woman to manage a Republican presidential campaign, has attacked Clinton regularly in recent days for spending the bulk of her time on the stump attacking Trump instead of presenting a positive message focused on her plans for the country.

Donald Trump, despite making a concerted effort to stay on script, deviated from his prepared remarks Thursday during a rally here focused on military and veterans issues and asserted that top generals don’t want Hillary Clinton as their next commander in chief. With a number of decorated veterans seated on stage behind him, Trump extolled their bravery as greater than his own.

Conversation around gender has been at the forefront of the 2016 election. In the midst of the sometimes hostile dialogue, two separate views of a woman’s role in society have emerged. The Atlantic traveled to women’s rallies for both Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton to poll supporters about their views on feminism and womanhood, in their own words.
Donald Trump’s ugly comments about women — calling them “dogs,” “fat pigs,” and so on — have been much discussed during the 2016 presidential campaign. He’s said enough sexist things that some of Hillary Clinton’s attack ads have simply replayed his own words.

With a week to go until Election Day, Hillary Clinton will lay out her closing argument Tuesday in South Florida, depicting Donald Trump as a threat to women and girls. Clinton will be introduced by former Miss Universe Alicia Machado, whom Trump fat shamed and forced to work out in front of television cameras after she gained weight in the year following her pageant victory. The Clinton campaign is also releasing an ad to coincide with the event, in which it replays all of the demeaning things Trump has said about women, including the audio from the leaked 2005 tape.

Priorities USA, Hillary Clinton’s top-dollar super PAC, will begin airing an ad that it hopes will compel women to ask themselves how Donald Trump make them feel. Set to Carole King’s “Natural Woman” — and sung by King’s daughter Louise Goffin — the super PAC has produced an ad that features shots of both unknown and famous women, including Eleanor Roosevelt, Rosa Parks, Sally Ride and Clinton, over the song. The ad, though, takes a turn near the end and closes with some of Trump’s more offensive words about women set on top of King’s song.
