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

11:05 a.m.

Hillary Clinton is rolling out a list of endorsements from retired generals and admirals that trumps Donald Trump’s list.

The announcement came as the two candidates prepared for a national security forum on Wednesday night. Clinton’s campaign announced that she now has 95 retired generals and admirals backing her candidacy. That’s more than the list of 88 retired military leaders that Trump’s campaign announced on Tuesday.

Among Clinton’s new supporters is retired General Lloyd Newton who served in the Air Force. He said in a statement that Clinton is the “only candidate that has the experience, temperament, critical thinking and level-headed leadership to keep America safe.”
