YESTERDAY ON THE TRAIL with ABC’s ADAM KELSEY

BIDEN ACKNOWLEDGES CLINTON'S UNPOPULARITY, FRAMES TRUMP'S 'COCKAMAMIE' POLICIES AS OUT OF TOUCH. Vice President Biden donned his ‘middle-class Joe’ hat Thursday as he campaigned for Hillary Clinton in Ohio, revisiting themes from his fiery Democratic National Convention speech as he attacked Donald Trump for being out of touch with the needs of rural voters, notes ABC’s ALEXANDER MALLIN. “My biggest problem with Donald Trump is not his cockamamie policies, it's the way he treats people,” Biden said. “Think about growing up in your house, at your kitchen table, if you ever talked about how cool it was that John down the street got fired.” http://abcn.ws/2bLVvUd

TIM KAINE DEFENDS HILLARY CLINTON'S QUESTIONABLE MEDIA AVAILABILITY. As the days drag on since Hillary Clinton’s most recent formal news conference, the candidate and her aides have struggled to explain why she refuses to hold one. The latest attempt came Thursday, when Clinton’s running mate, Sen. Tim Kaine of Virginia, was asked in an interview with CBS News about the Democratic presidential nominee’s limited interactions with the media, reports ABC’s LIZ KREUTZ. “Hillary takes questions from reporters every day. She does,” Kaine said. “She talks to the press everywhere she goes.” http://abcn.ws/2ctxNlj

FACT-CHECKING DONALD TRUMP'S IMMIGRATION SPEECH. Donald Trump discussed immigration in a speech in Phoenix Wednesday. ABC News fact-checked several of his claims that touched on the federal government's immigration track record, as well as Trump's policy proposals and those of his Democratic challenger, Hillary Clinton.

AFTER IMMIGRATION SPEECH, EXPERTS WEIGH IN ON FEASIBILITY OF TRUMP'S PLANS. Donald Trump laid out a lengthy plan covering various facets of his immigration policy in a speech Wednesday night, some points of which he’s laid out before on the campaign trail. However, some of the Republican presidential nominee's proposals are viewed as logistically difficult or impossible by experts, writes ABC’s MEGHAN KENEALLY. Here is a rundown of the biggest takeaways from Trump's speech: http://abcn.ws/2bH35SG

DONALD TRUMP'S IMMIGRATION SPEECH RESONATED WITH HIS BASE. The confusion over Donald Trump's immigration policy in recent weeks was put to rest last night after he gave his long-awaited policy speech in Arizona. The Republican presidential nominee's list of policy initiatives offered a few new details, but they largely sounded familiar, having previously cited them on the campaign trail. To some supporters, though, that was likely a good thing, reports ABC’s MEGHAN KENEALLY. http://abcn.ws/2cudjIM

TRUMP VS. CLINTON: COMPARING THEIR STANCES ON IMMIGRATION REFORM. After a whirlwind Wednesday that took Donald Trump to Mexico City and then to Arizona for a landmark speech on immigration, it’s clear that the debate over immigration reform will be a central issue for the remainder of the election cycle. Trump and Hillary Clinton both outline their immigration positions on their campaign websites, providing detail that goes beyond the rhetoric of building a wall versus providing amnesty. ABC’s ADAM KELSEY has a look at where the candidates stand on immigration reform: http://abcn.ws/2c4ayfv

DONALD TRUMP PUSHES PATRIOTISM IN SCHOOLS. Donald Trump stressed his push for increased patriotism in a speech to the American Legion Thursday morning. He said that a shared goal of a Trump administration and the American Legion, a veterans' association, would be "promoting American pride and patriotism in America's schools." "We want young Americans to recite the Pledge of Allegiance," Trump said. ABC’s MEGHAN KENEALLY and JOHN SANTUCCI have more: http://abcn.ws/2c3ROgf

BERNIE SANDERS TO STUMP FOR HILLARY CLINTON NEXT WEEK. Bernie Sanders will hit the campaign trail again next week, talking to labor groups and speaking on behalf of Democratic candidates, including Hillary Clinton, at two events in New Hampshire on Monday, writes ABC’s MARYALICE PARKS. Aside from a televised speech to his fans and followers earlier this month, the Labor Day events will be a shift for the senator who has otherwise spent the summer since the national Democratic Party convention in Philadelphia with his family and staff in Vermont. http://abcn.ws/2bG0bPP

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT

DONALD TRUMP AND MEXICAN PRESIDENT TRADE BARBS OVER MONEY FOR BORDER WALL. Following a cordial meeting with Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto Wednesday that Donald Trump characterized as a "substantive, direct and constructive exchange of ideas," the two men took the dispute over who would pay for Trump's border wall to Twitter. At a press conference in Mexico City following his meeting with Pena Nieto, Trump said that the two had not discussed who would pay for the wall. But later Wednesday evening, Pena Nieto tweeted that the topic led off their conversation and that he was unambiguous about his country’s stance. ABC’s ADAM KELSEY has more: http://abcn.ws/2bX5n26

WHO’S TWEETING

@ananavarro: Trump's immigration speech: staunch supporters, loved it; staunch opponents, hated it; those who gave him a chance to pivot, regretted it.

@nytpolitics: A leaked draft script shows what advisers want Trump to say at a black church http://nyti.ms/2bGkdd0 by @yamiche

@ChadLivengood: Dems question @realDonaldTrump’s sincerity with visit to one of Detroit's poorest areas; @RealBenCarson defends plan http://detne.ws/2bQf6US

@IsaacDovere: Having Chris Wallace of Fox News moderate the last debate is essentially daring Trump to do all three

@KellyannePolls: Day 272 without a press conference, yet Tim Kaine says Hillary "talks to the press everywhere she goes." Really?
