Watch Live Stream: Hillary Clinton Rally in Detroit, Michigan [Updated]

Updated. DETROIT, MI — In her first public appearance after a blistering presidential debate Sunday, Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton didn’t address her Republican rival’s threat to, if elected, appoint a special prosecutor or taunts about her husband’s infidelity, an apparent attempt to deflect attention from leaked tapes of him boasting about groping women.

Clinton was in Michigan to stoke voters in advance of Tuesday’s deadline in Michigan to register to vote in the Nov. 8 general election.

The closest Clinton came to addressing the allegations against her husband was when a protester wearing a Bill Clinton “RAPE” shirt was escorted from the event. What he said was not audible.

“You know, I do hope someone follows that gentleman out and stages an intervention,” Clinton told the crowd. “He clearly has not been following this election very closely.”

She again paraphrased First Lady Michelle Obama's speech at the Democratic National Convention referring to Trump's allegations against Bill Clinton.

“One of us went high and one of us went low,” Clinton said. “Donald Trump spent his time attacking when he should have been apologizing. There are a lot of things he should apologize for. On Friday, the whole world heard him talking about the terrible way he treats women. Last night when he was asked about how he behaves, he just doubled down on his excuse, that it was just locker room talk.”

Clinton hammered away at many of the themes she addressed Sunday, including Trump’s reaction to reports that he may not have paid federal income taxes for 18 years after claiming a nearly $1 billion loss in 1995.

“Last night, he admitted he hasn’t paid a dime in federal income tax for several years because of bad investments and failing casinos,” Clinton said. “How do you lose money running casinos?”

Trump said in the debate that Clinton supporter Warren Buffett, the third wealthiest man in America, uses the same provisions. Clinton read from a statement released by Buffett Monday:

“Mr. Trump says he knows more about taxes than any other human. He has not seen my income tax returns. But I am happy to give him the facts.”

Buffet said he paid $1,845,557 in federal income tax for 2015 on a gross income of $11,563,931; and that he took $5,477,694 in deductions, about $3.5 million were for charitable donations limited by “tax law property limits.”

“Finally, I have been audited by the IRS multiple times and am currently being audited,” Buffett said in the statement. “I have no problem in releasing my tax information while under audit. Neither would Mr. Trump — at least he would have no legal problem.”

Our earlier report: Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton will make a post-debate appearance in Detroit Monday to rally voters in advance of Tuesday’s deadline to register to vote in the Nov. 8 general election. The rally will be held at 2:45 p.m. Eastern Monday at the Matthaei Center on the campus of Wayne State University.

The former secretary of state’s visit to Michigan, one of about a dozen battleground states that could decide the presidential race, comes 30 days before voters cast ballots in a presidential campaign that has stretched the norms of politics and has been one of the most unusual in history.

One one side is Clinton, the first woman ever to be nominated for president by a major political party and an establishment candidate who fought off a white-knuckle primary challenge by a self-described Democratic socialist — all while under a cloud of suspicion related to her use of a private email server during her stint as secretary of state and questions surrounding her handling of the Sept. 11, 2012, terrorist attacks in Benghazi, Libya, where a U.S. ambassador and three other Americans were killed.

On the other is Trump, a billionaire and reality TV star who rocketed to the top of the Republican ticket, despite the fact that he mocked the disabled, denigrated Mexicans and women, picked a Twitter fight with Gold Star parents, and denied that Arizona Sen. John McCain was a war hero because he was captured and tortured, among other controversial statements and positions during his unconventional campaign.

And, until about a week ago, it looked as if Trump was closing in on Clinton in Michigan, pulling within 3 points in a Detroit Free Press/WXYZ poll. However, the same poll, released late last week, showed that Clinton had regained her momentum and has an 11-point advantage in the Great Lakes State.

Tapes leaked Friday of Trump boasting about his attempts to have sex with married women and how being a "star" allows him to kiss, grope and have sex with women whenever he sees fit are sure to have an effect.

However, national polls released this weekend, with surveys completed before the tapes were released, show Trump was already in trouble before the bombshell. A Real Clear Politics average of polls shows Clinton leading Trump, 44.1 percent to 40.9 percent, in a four-way race with Libertarian Gary Johnson (6.5 percent) and Green Party candidate Jill Stein (2.3 percent).

Since the revelations Friday, a growing number of leading Republicans have called on Trump to drop out of the race, though party elites didn’t back the outsider candidate en masse to begin with. While functionally possible under the Republican National Committee’s Rule 9, early voting is already underway and military ballots have been distributed, which would make Trump's withdrawal a political donnybrook.

Rule 9 reads:

“The Republican National Committee is hereby authorized and empowered to fill any and all vacancies which may occur by reason of death, declination, or otherwise of the Republican candidate for President of the United States or the Republican candidate for Vice President of the United States, as nominated by the national convention, or the Republican National Committee may reconvene the national convention for the purpose of filling any such vacancies.”

Trump has defiantly stated that he is not dropping out. He told the Wall Street Journal Saturday that there is “zero chance” he will withdraw from the race after the vulgar comments surfaced.

“I’ll never withdraw,” Trump told the Washington Post's Robert Costa in an interview Saturday. “I’ve never withdrawn in my life.”

Republicans appeared resigned that Trump won't step down for the ticket and were breaking ranks with the candidate to salvage their own campaigns and Republicans in other down-ticket races, who have been dragged down by the Trump phenomenon. On his FiveThirtyEight blog, Nate Silver said there was a 58.3 chance that Democrats would regain control of the Senate, and that was before the tapes were leaked.

The leaked tapes take some of the spotlight off what was expected to be the “October surprise” in this presidential election campaign — the Wikileaks release of 2,060 emails from Clinton campaign chair John Podesta, part of what hacker Julian Assange says are 50,000 emails that will be released to the public.

The emails released Friday focus on Podesta’s communications relating to “nuclear energy, and media handling over donations to the Clinton Foundation from mining and nuclear interests.”
