RALEIGH: Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump squared off in do-or-die North Carolina with duelling rallies in the home stretch of a bitter, hard-fought US presidential race that is tightening by the day. Pennsylvania is clearly a firewall for Clinton; a Trump win there would be a giant step toward his becoming the 45th president. As the race nears its conclusion, profound Republican skepticism about Trump’s controversial candidacy appears to be ebbing. Trump has seized on the controversy, airing a new ad that highlights the FBI probe and declares Clinton “unfit to serve” — language Clinton often uses to describe her rival. While Trump has no room for error, Clinton has sought to expand into Republican territory, notably Arizona, where she attended a huge rally Wednesday.
