U.S. Presidential Elections News Updates -- September 8, 2016

Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are both interviewed after the terror attacks on 9/11 in New York City.

ABC News: Where Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton Were on 9/11

Since the 9/11 attacks, there hasn't been a presidential nominee hailing from New York. But that changed this year, since the major party candidates have close ties to the state.

Donald Trump is a born-and-bred New Yorker who has extensive real estate interests in the Big Apple, which he still calls his home. Hillary Clinton represented New York in the Senate for eight years and has lived in a home in the state for 16 years.

Both candidates have talked about the attacks and their aftermath throughout this presidential campaign, but neither of them will be doing so publicly this weekend: Both have agreed not to campaign Sunday, on the 15th anniversary of the attacks.
