DETROIT (AP) — Donald Trump has been looking to put a rough campaign stretch behind him today, with an economic speech that included a blistering attack on Hillary Clinton's approach to the economy. Speaking to the Detroit Economic Club, Trump promised to provide deep tax cuts, and to jolt middle class workers back to prosperity. He offered a few new policy specifics, but trained much of his attention on Clinton -- saying that her policies would punish people for "working and doing business in the United States."

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Hillary Clinton is promising more support for small businesses. As she toured a Florida brewery today, Clinton said she wanted to help small companies grow, pledging to be a "small business president." She criticized Donald Trump's business record, saying he had "stiffed" small companies throughout his career. Clinton's tour came as part of a campaign swing through the battleground state focused on jobs and the economy.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A group of 50 former GOP national security officials has signed an open letter opposing Donald Trump. Those who signed worked for former Presidents Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush and say they are convinced that Trump would be "the most reckless president in American history." The letter is similar to one issued by some of the same Republican former officials and foreign policy experts in March.

ATLANTA (AP) — Delta Air Lines says it's investigating the cause of today's power outage that knocked out its computer systems worldwide. Delta canceled more than 450 flights by early afternoon, and a flight tracking service counted 2,000 delayed flights. Delta isn't commenting on whether its information-technology system has enough built-in backups to quickly recover from a hiccup like a power outage.

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Florida health officials say they're investigating a case of Zika virus infection in Palm Beach County that was likely contracted in the United States. The infected person had recently traveled to Miami-Dade County, where more than a dozen non-travel-related Zika cases were discovered last week. A statement from Gov. Rick Scott says health officials still believe active transmissions of the mosquito-borne virus are only taking place within an area smalller than 1 square mile in Miami-Dade County.
