Donald Trump is out and Hillary Clinton is in.

A week after Trump backed out of a planned question and answer session with the U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce (USHCC), Clinton’s campaign has agreed to the same format at an October 15 event in San Antonio.

The USHCC confirmed that the event was on after the Clinton campaign was able to nail down the details.

“The USHCC has worked closely with various candidates from both parties, including the Secretary’s team, in an effort to advocate on behalf of our members and the Hispanic community at large,” spokesman Ammar Campa-Najjar said in a statement. “Since the first day of her announcement, Secretary Clinton’s team has continued actively engaging our business owners throughout the country by listening to their stories, and sharing her vision for broad-based prosperity where every American has the chance to get ahead and stay ahead.”

Clinton will be in San Antonio for the first “Latinos for Hillary” organizing event and will also gain the endorsement of former San Antonio mayor and current HUD Secretary Julian Castro. The Q&A with the Hispanic chamber will be at 11 a.m. and Clinton’s event will be at 12:30 in Historic Sunset Station. ....................
