Trump to pitch first 100 days of presidency in speech Saturday

Republican Donald Trump will give a major speech in historic Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, Saturday morning to lay out his plans for his first 100 days in office if elected president. An advance copy of the speech was not released, but campaign staff said it would be a "very specific, detailed vision" for "economic and physical security," introducing new policy details as Election Day nears.

One Trump aide compared the speech to the 1994 GOP "Contract with America." Rival Hillary Clinton could not make a similar presentation because she "doesn't have a governing vision for America because she has no vision," another Trump aide said. "Hillary Clinton, she can't even go there because she doesn't know what check she will get between now and when she would be hypothetically elected."

Also on Saturday, the 11th woman to accuse Trump of sexual misconduct is expected to come forward.
