WASHINGTON (AP) – The Latest on the U.S. presidential race (all times EDT):

8:45 a.m.

Donald Trump is rolling out proposals to make childcare more affordable for working families.

At a speech in a Philadelphia suburb Thursday, the Republican nominee will call for guaranteeing new mothers six weeks of paid maternity leave. He will also lay out plans to create new “Dependent Care Savings Accounts” that would allow families to set aside money to look after their children or elderly parents.

And Trump plans to provide details of his plan to allow parents to deduct child-care spending from their taxes.
