George. Okay, alex, marquardt, thanks. Back here at home, the race for the white house hotter than ever. With donald trump sharpening his attacks on Hillary Clinton and signaling his most dramatic shift yet on immigration. Abcs jon karl is on the trail. Good morning, jon. Reporter good morning, george, this shift on immigration is a stunning reversal for trump on his core issue. And it comes as hes out with a brandnew harsh label for Hillary Clinton. Speaking in mississippi overnight, donald trump gave a provocative new label to Hillary Clinton. For the first time, branding her a racist. Hillary clinton is a bigot. Who sees people of color only as votes. Not as human beings worthy of a better future. Reporter watch the reaction from this woman as trump makes the attack. Who sees people of color reporter in an interview on cnn, clinton quickly fired back. Hes taking a hate movement mainstream. Hes brought it into his campaign. Hes bringing it to our communities and our country. Reporter trump is now trying to appeal to minority voters. Making huge flip on his core issues. Youre going to have a deportation force. Were rounding them up in a very humane way. Reporter trump now says some of the nio be allowed to stay. Do we tell these people to get out . Number one. Or do we work with them and let them stay in some form . Reporter he says he would keep the door closed to citizenship. But for the first time, hes saying hes open to giving legal status to the millions who came into the United States illegally. Who wants those people thrown out . I do reporter as for Hillary Clinton, she says she plans to launch a major counterattack. Reno, nevada, today, her Campaign Says shell declare trump out of the mainstream, linked to an altright political philosophy that embraces extremism. Trumps new position on immigration sounds a heck of a lot like what jeb bush proposed in the republican primaries. Back then, george, trump harshly attacked it as amnesty. Now, a spokesperson for bush is reacting saying, its unsurprising that donald trump reconciling his immigration policy with reality. Its something governor bush predicted last year. George . Okay, jon karl. Lets take that to matt dowd. The Trump Campaign is still saying, even though hes talked about this for the last several days, that hes going to come out with a formal position in the next week or so. If this sticks, if he does say that some of the undocumented immigrants in the country right now can have a path to jon said, just stunning given everything he said over the course of the primary campaign. Well, i think it would be the most fundamental shift in his whole campaign to this point. I think theres two problematic areas that they have to be careful of, the Trump Campaign. First is if you ask any trump voter, the only issue that links them together is his immigration stand. No other issue links them together like immigration. The other issue is, hes supposed to be the tells it like it is politician. The one who is willing to say done. Now, if he makes a major shift on this issue, its problematic. But isnt he shifting in a position that more people agree with . Absolutely. People agree that we ought to have secure borders and compassionately deal with the people in this country. Absolutely. I think its primarily aimed at white women suburban voters. Its not really aimed at latinos. Its aimed at those suburban voters that he knows this more. Hitting themes a little bit more consistently. He still goes off and labels Hillary Clinton with words like bigot. That seems to be the pattern going forward. His team is going to try to discipline him a bit but also give him the free rein to do what he does. Well, i would hope that the bigot line was not in the teleprompter. His campaign manager, Kellyanne Conway said he doesnt personally insult anybody. Personal insults. I would hope we have a hope solo standard in the course of this. When you Say Something outrageous, maybe you get a timeout for awhile to figure out what you need to do in the course of this. No time for timeouts with 70 days to go until election day. Thats the reality right there, matt dowd. Thank you very much. Now to a set of frightening plane landings right here in new york. Two packed aircraft, two hours apart, slamming into birds at jfk.
