The For Our Future super PAC, funded in part by a $20 million donation from Democratic super donor Tom Steyer and an array of labor unions, has raised $60 million geared toward mobilizing 9.5 million African American, Latino and millennial voters. The focus is on down-ballot elections in several battleground states, including Florida, Missouri, Nevada, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.

Some of the Republican lawmakers who dropped their support for Trump following the tape released over the weekend have begun to hedge their bets by softening their anti-Trump language. With a number of solid Trump supporters in many of these Republicans’ districts and states, they in a difficult spot trying to find a middle ground. Many are still unable to outwardly say they support Trump, but have instead again expressed support for the Republican ticket.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov called claims that his country is interfering in the U.S. presidential election "ridiculous." The White House followed up Tuesday by saying it would respond to the alleged Russian cyber attacks in a "proportional" way, without detailing what that retaliation might be.

According to emails obtained by The Hill, Steve Bannon, now CEO of the Trump campaign, told his editorial team back in December of 2015 that "Paul Ryan is the enemy." It seems appropriate that this revelation appeared the same day Trump began attacking Ryan.

RNC chairman Reince Priebus reiterated his committee’s support for nominee Donald Trump, after the committee went silent over the weekend. “Nothing has changed in regard with our relationship. We remain very much involved and together in all levels of making these decisions with how to run this operation across this country,” stated Priebus.

In what looks like a bid to court Republicans not supporting Trump, but who have yet to move over to Clinton, the Clinton campaign announced support for a tax break for the parents of children 4-years-old and under. The tax break would give about $1,000 to the millions of families that qualify.

Early voting has already started in a number of swing states, and the Clinton campaign looks to benefit heavily from the millions who will vote before November 8. Early data from Florida and North Carolina shows Clinton is building a lead, even before the disturbing tape that surfaced over the weekend.

A Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll taken over the weekend, after the release of the disturbing “Access Hollywood” tape, shows a strong effect on Trump support. The new poll has Clinton up 11 points on Trump among likely voters, even when including third-party candidates. Her lead was at six points in September.

Republican House Speaker Paul Ryan told GOP lawmakers on a conference call Monday morning that he will no longer defend or campaign for Trump. He did not, however, formally change his endorsement. This does not come as a huge surprise, as over the past few months, Ryan has shown his unease with supporting Trump.

Prior to Sunday night’s debate, Donald Trump held a makeshift press availability where women who accused former president Bill Clinton of assault spoke to the press. He then invited them to the debate at the Washington University in St. Louis. According to people involved, Trump tried to place the women in his family box, when minutes before the debate, the Commission on Presidential Debates said they would have been removed by security had he done so.
