Donald Trump won’t commit to working with Hillary Clinton if she’s elected president.
The Republican presidential candidate said Thursday on ABC’s “Good Morning America” that he will make the decision at a later date. He says: “I’m not saying that I’m not or I am. Hopefully I won’t have to make that decision.”
New York’s archbishop, Cardinal Timothy Dolan, has said that in a warm private exchange at an otherwise testy charity dinner last week, Clinton had told Trump that “whatever happens, we need to work together afterward.”
But Clinton sidestepped a question Wednesday about whether she will meet one-on-one with rival Donald Trump after the November election.
She told journalists that she will reach out to Republicans and independents and “the elected leadership of the Congress.”

Hillary Clinton and Michelle Obama are slated to campaign together for the first time at a rally in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.
The event Thursday afternoon will bring together two women who are a study in contrasts. Clinton is perhaps one of the least traditional first ladies in modern history, while Obama has fully embraced tradition.
Clinton dove into policy, undertook a massive project and failed under a harsh spotlight.
Mrs. Obama largely steered clear and enjoyed quieter, modest success. Both Ivy League-trained lawyers with their own careers, Clinton bridled under the stereotypes associated with the office, Mrs. Obama declared herself “mom in chief.”
