With Labor Day behind them, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are pushing ahead in top presidential battlegrounds in the South._ by [Zeke Miller](https://time.com/author/zeke-j-miller/) ## Zeke Miller Sep 6, 2016 2:14 PM UTC by [Zeke Miller](https://time.com/author/zeke-j-miller/) ## Zeke Miller Sep 6, 2016 2:14 PM UTC **_If you only read one thing:_** _Welcome back from the holiday weekend where we’re down to 63 days until Election Day and under three weeks until the first debate. Labor Day marks the historic starting gun for the sprint to voting, which begins in just 17 days in some states, so buckle up._ While most Americans were enjoying a last beach foray or barbecue, Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump spent Monday barnstorming swing states and delivering speeches highlighting American workers in Ohio. The pair also spent time talking to their press corps—which is notable only for how infrequently it occurs. For Clinton, her gaggle aboard her new campaign-branded Boeing 737 was the closest she has come to a press conference in more than 270 days. For Trump, who invited a small contingent of reports on his plane for a brief flight, it was his most unfiltered comments since a campaign shake-up and his confounding attempt at “softening” his position on illegal immigration. Here’s what we learned: * Donald Trump said for the first time he will attend all three scheduled presidential debates, barring acts of God. He revealed he isn’t holding mock debate sessions—the traditional way nominees prepare for the primetime contests—and that he doesn’t have anyone playing Hillary Clinton to prepare him for the September 26 showdown. * Hillary Clinton said she understood classification standards when she entered the State Department, despite comments to the FBI staying she couldn’t identify a standard marking on one message found on her private email server. “The fact that I couldn’t remember certain meetings doesn’t affect the commitment I had to the treatment of classified material,” she said. * Trump wouldn’t call his long “Birtherism” crusade a mistake, and implied he believes Obama may not be born in the U.S., saying the only reason he doesn’t discuss it is that reporters would fixate on it. “Your whole thing will be about that,” he said. * Clinton expressed concern about the growing U.S. government consensus that the Russian government is seeking to influence the U.S. election by promoting the hacking of Democratic targets. “We’ve never had a foreign adversarial power be already involved in our electoral process,” she said. * Trump sidestepped questions about the fact that his foundation paid a penalty to the IRS for an improper political donation to Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi, a Republican and now a campaign supporter, who was investigating whether to bring suit against Trump University. “I never even spoke to her about it at all,” he said, contradicting comments by her spokesperson earlier this year. She ultimately did not sue the controversial Trump entity. * Clinton continued to support a no-fly zone in Syria, breaking with the Obama Administration, telling reporters, “I think we need leverage.” * Donald Trump is maintaining ambiguity about what he’d do with the the millions of people in the U.S. illegally who he is not prioritizing for deportation. He ruled out citizenship unless they leave the U.S., but, in a reversal from last week, suggested he’d be open to them remaining illegally or providing a path to legal status. “If they stay, they stay, you know,” Trump said, rejecting the notion that he was following Mitt Romney’s 2012 “self-deportation” plan. “Then were are going to make determination after our border is secure,” he said of legal status. “We are going to make that decision into the future. That decision will be made.” All told, the day was almost like a day on a “normal” campaign, with accessible candidates and logical schedules. But this is not a normal campaign, so it probably won’t last too long. Trump makes a new pitch to African American voters. Clinton’s month of fundraising.

I think it's quite intriguing, that this activity has happened [ COUGH ] around the time Trump became the nominee. And He furthermore has praised Putin. He seems to have this bizarre attraction to dictators. I was relieved that our National Security professionals made the point about Russian interference with our elections. It's almost unthinkable. And for my perspective. To having met with, and watched Putin over the years, when I saw his response to that question, it was very clear he's quite satisfied with himself. Tim Cain said yesterday, this is like Watergate, only now in cyber time. Breaking in to the Democratic National Committee Either physically or into electronic files to withdraw information to be used for political purposes, it is stunning that we are facing this and specially from a foreign power. I hear now that We've got this great plane that Donald Trump actually invited his press onto his plane where, I'm told, he even answered a few questions. So, following My lead as he just did. I would hope he continues and releases his tax returns. First thing is to get all of the bad element out. The gang members, okay, we get them all out. We secure the border. We stop the drugs from coming in cuz the drugs are Again. I mean the drugs, you go to places in Ohio, you go to places in New Hampshire. The single biggest problem they have is drugs. You have a big problem in Indiana. I think i'm gonna do great with the African American. Look, i explained. I do it very simply. The crime rate is through the roof, through the roof. People can't walk down the street without getting shot. I'll stop that. There are no jobs, I'm gonna bring back jobs. The Democrats haven't done that. The level of poverty is 40 % The Youth can't get jobs. 58 % unemployed. And I say, I mean, I'm gonna fix it. Why wouldn't they vote for me? So they're keeping the rates artificially low so Obama can go out and play golf after January You were in say that he did a good job but it's a very false economy. We have a false economy, it's an artificial market, it's a bubble. So the only thing that's strong is the artificial market that they've created until January. It's so artificial cuz they have free money. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4479816/donald-trump-hillary-clinton-chat-with-press-in-rare-move/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4479816/donald-trump-hillary-clinton-chat-with-press-in-rare-move/"},"headline":"Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton Chat With Press in Rare Move","datePublished":"2016-09-06T14:14:49.000Z","dateModified":"2026-10-07T06:45:40.340Z","description":"Morning Must Reads: September 6","url":"https://time.com/4479816/donald-trump-hillary-clinton-chat-with-press-in-rare-move/","keywords":["Morning Must Reads"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt17b106cede66817d/6988a4db8e060146f946759f/donald-trump-mike-pence-reporters.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Zeke Miller","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/zeke-j-miller/"}],"articleSection":"Politics","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt17b106cede66817d/6988a4db8e060146f946759f/donald-trump-mike-pence-reporters.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump and his running mate Indiana Governor Mike Pence speak to reporters aboard Trump's plane as they travel between campaign stops in Ohio","caption":"Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump and his running mate Indiana Governor Mike Pence speak to reporters aboard Trump's plane as they travel between campaign stops in Ohio, on Sept. 5, 2016.","creditText":"Mike Segar—Reuters","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/politics/","name":"Politics"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4479816/donald-trump-hillary-clinton-chat-with-press-in-rare-move/","name":"Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton Chat With Press in Rare Move"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"After Labor Day, Trump And Clinton Turn Attention to Southern Battleground States","description":"With Labor Day behind them, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are pushing ahead in top presidential battlegrounds in the South.","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/nrSX88WX/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2016-09-06T13:53:54.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/nrSX88WX.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/4479816/donald-trump-hillary-clinton-chat-with-press-in-rare-move/","duration":"PT2M58S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/4479816/donald-trump-hillary-clinton-chat-with-press-in-rare-move/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
