At the Democratic Convention last week, Hillary Clinton spotlighted several key Republicans backing her. Now that list is growing and it comes as President Obama is amplifying calls for Republicans to do more than just distance themselves from their nominee. Josh Robin reports.
One's a Congressman from upstate New York, the other advised New Jersey Governor Chris Christie.
These two Republicans are the latest defectors from their party's nominee — both now say they're voting for Hillary Clinton.
Governor Christie is still a top Trump booster.
But, Maria Comella, who also advised former Mayor Rudy Giuliani, spoke to CNN. She did not respond for comment.
Trump continues to shock the political world, days after suggesting a slain veteran's mother didn't speak at the Democratic Convention because she wasn't allowed to.
In fact, she was too distraught.
Tuesday, a fan gave him his own Purple Heart military honor.
"And I said 'Man, that's like big stuff. I always wanted to get the Purple Heart. This was much easier.'"
Trump received five deferments during the Vietnam War.
His remarks have President Obama offering extraordinary criticism even for a rival of the opposing party.
Asking Republicans why only criticize, without rescinding endorsements.
"The fact that that has not yet happened makes some of these denunciations ring hollow," Obama said. "There has to come a point at which you say enough."
We reached out to top Republicans in Trump's home state of New York. Both the party chairman and the state senate majority leader said through representatives they continue to back him.
Still, polls show the nominee lost any post-convention bounce.
Clinton didn't have a public schedule Tuesday, but the Democratic National Committee announced the departures of three top officials.
It comes after hacked emails show top DNC officials plotted to sabotage the candidacy of Clinton's then rival Bernie Sanders.
Much of last week's democratic convention aimed to heal that party rift, and polls Tuesday show Clinton with as much as 8-point national lead over Trump.
"It's a crooked system," Trump said. "It's a rigged system. We're running against a rigged system."
He drew more laughter by ejecting the mother of a crying baby from his Virginia rally.
"You can get the baby out of here," he said.
