Senator Tim Kaine to Campaign in Pennsylvania on Wednesday and Thursday, October 5 and 6, 2016 *Updated

Following Vice Presidential Debate, Tim Kaine to Campaign in Pennsylvania on Wednesday and Thursday, October 5 and 6, 2016 *Updated

On Wednesday and Thursday, October 5 and 6, following the vice presidential debate on Tuesday evening, Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Kaine will campaign across Pennsylvania. At public Pennsylvania Democrats events in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, Kaine will lay out his and Hillary Clinton's plans to create an economy that works for everyone, not just those at the top. Kaine will emphasize that he and Clinton are proposing an agenda that would make the biggest investment in good-paying jobs since World War II, while Donald Trump has consistently outsourced jobs and manufactured his Trump-branded products overseas, while stiffing workers and contractors at his properties here in the U.S. and potentially avoiding paying nearly two decades of federal income taxes.

New Donald J. Trump 2016 TV Ad "Motherhood"

IVANKA TRUMP TALKS CHILDCARE AFFORDABILITY IN NEW TRUMP TV AD

Ad Highlights Donald J. Trump’s Transformative Childcare Policy

NEW YORK, NY - Today the Donald J. Trump for President campaign released a new television ad featuring Ivanka Trump entitled “Motherhood,” highlighting Mr. Trump’s plan to lower childcare expenses, improve maternity leave and offer elder care. “Motherhood” will air nationally, and will be heavily rotated into battleground states starting today.

This is the first national campaign ad that Ivanka Trump has appeared in, talking about a policy plan she helped craft for her father’s campaign.

“Mr. Trump’s childcare affordability plan will immediately help millions of hard-working Americans provide for their families by introducing innovative solutions benefitting everybody. Mr. Trump’s clear vision on this issue sets him apart from Hillary Clinton, who has offered little more than partisan rhetoric and vague talking points. If you’re looking for a change to improve America, Donald Trump will provide that leadership.” - Jessica Ditto, Deputy Communications Director

Audio Sourcing

IT: The most important job any woman can have is being a mother, and it shouldn’t mean taking a pay cut

I’m Ivanka Trump, a mother, a wife, and an entrepreneur.

Donald Trump understands the needs for a modern work force.

My father will change outdated labor laws so that they support women and American families

He will provide tax credits for childcare, paid maternity leave, and dependent care savings accounts.

This will allow women to support their families, and further their careers.

DT: I’m Donald Trump and I approve this message.

Single women without children made 94 cents on a man’s dollar, but married mothers with children made only 81 cents in 2014. About two-thirds of working mothers have poorly compensated jobs without benefits.
Federal policies currently in place to benefit families are all but obsolete. They were written more than 65 years ago to serve a workforce that no longer exists. Dual-income families were not the norm in 1949 when the current tax code was established. Today, in almost two-thirds of married couples, both parents work outside the home.

The Trump childcare plan allows every parent or family in America – including adoptive parents, stay-at-home moms and foster parent guardians – to deduct their child care expenses from their income taxes.

For low-income individuals who have no net income tax liability, we will offer an expanded Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) in the form of a childcare rebate.

Parents will be allowed to establish a Dependent Care Savings Accounts (DCSAs) for each of their children. Total annual contributions a DCSA are limited to $2,000 per year from all sources, and would be tax exempt. Funds remaining in the account when the child reaches 18 can be used for education expenses, but additional contributions could not be made.

The Trump plan offers a crucial safety net for working mothers whose employers do not provide paid maternity leave. By recapturing fraud and improper payments in the unemployment insurance program, we can provide 6 weeks of paid-maternity leave to any mother with a newborn child whose employer does not provide the benefit. This maternity leave will be paid straight out of the unemployment insurance fund and, again, this safety net will be completely paid-for through savings within the program.

The Trump plan proposes 6 weeks of partial pay through the existing unemployment Insurance system, fully paid for by eliminating waste and inefficiencies within the program.

The Trump plan recognizes the value of every parent, including stay at home moms. The tax-code has never done this before.

New Donald J. Trump 2016 TV Ad “Why?”

NEW TRUMP CAMPAIGN TV AD HIGHLIGHTS HILLARY CLINTON QUESTIONING WHY SHE’S NOT “50 POINTS AHEAD"

NEW YORK, NY – Today the Donald J. Trump for President campaign released a new television ad entitled “Why?” which calls out Hillary Clinton for wondering why she isn’t 50 points ahead despite her ongoing email scandal, support for policies that led to the rise of ISIS and referring to tens of millions of hard-working Americans as “deplorables.” The ad will air nationally as part of the campaign’s expanded advertising campaign.

“Hillary Clinton’s career is a decades-long highlight reel of moments in which Clinton puts her self-interests over the needs of everyday Americans. To be clear, Hillary Clinton is in this race to enrich herself and line the pockets of her Wall Street donors. Why is out of touch Hillary Clinton not 50 points ahead? The answer is pretty clear. Voters want a change in direction and only Donald J. Trump can provide that change." - Jason Miller, Senior Communications Advisor

Transcript For "Why?”

HRC: "Why Aren't I 50 Points Ahead, You Might Ask?"

VO: Maybe It's Because The Director Of The FBI Said You Lied About Your Emails

JAMES COMEY, FBI DIRECTOR: “There Was Classified Material Emailed.”

VO: Or Maybe It's Because Your Policies Have Allowed ISIS And Terrorism To Spread

VO: Or Maybe It's Because You Call Americans “Deplorable"

HRC: "You Can Put Half Of Trump's Supporters Into What I Call The ‘Basket Of Deplorables.’"

HRC: "Why Aren't I 50 Points Ahead You Might Ask?"

VO: Do You Really Need To Ask?

DJT: "I’m Donald Trump, And I Approve This Message."
