On June 10, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump sent a message calling for harmony and unity among ethnic groups in the United States.

Mr Trump made the remarks at an evangelical Christian conference, in an attempt to allay concerns over his previous criticism of a Mexican-American judge.

In a departure from his usual freewheeling style, Mr. Trump delivered a carefully written speech, using a teleprompter as support. This is part of the US presidential candidate’s new campaign to downplay the ferocity of his outspoken statements.

Trump’s comments this time did not omit attacks on his Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton. He said that the money used to resettle Syrian refugees in the US could be spent on solving poverty right inside American cities.

Speaking at the Faith and Freedom Alliance’s annual conference, Trump did not address the controversy surrounding his accusation that Judge Gonzalo Curiel could not treat him fairly because of his Mexican heritage, instead emphasizing that he would represent all Americans if elected President on November 8.

“Total freedom means that no one is judged based on their race or the color of their skin,” Donald Trump declared. “We are a very divided nation right now. We are going to bring our people together.”

Mr. Paul Ryan and many Republican leaders have warned Mr. Trump to change his tone or risk losing their support.

Mr. Mitt Romney - the Republican presidential candidate in 2012, criticized Mr. Trump for making derogatory comments about women, religion, and people of Mexican descent.

Mr. Romney said that Mr. Trump will certainly be nominated by the Republican Party as the official candidate to run for the White House, but Mr. Romney still declared that he will not vote for either Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton.

While Mr. Trump sought to rally Republican support for him, Mrs. Clinton met with Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts in an effort to gain more support from the left wing of the Democratic Party.

Mrs. Clinton then spoke before the Parents Action Fund (PPAF) and used the platform to attack Mr. Trump.

“This is a man who has called women pigs and dogs and disgusting animals — it’s hard to imagine that we can count on him to protect our basic rights,” Clinton said.

Mrs. Clinton is currently leading Mr. Trump by 11 percentage points, similar to a week ago, according to a Reuters poll released on June 10./.
