WASHINGTON  — The Latest on the 2016 presidential race (all times EDT):

6:40 p.m.

Donald Trump’s campaign chairman is calling on Hillary Clinton to follow Debbie Wasserman Schultz’s lead and drop out of the race over her use of a secret email server. Paul Manafort says in a statement that Wasserman Schultz’s emails put the Democratic Party at risk, “but Hillary Clinton’s emails put all of America at risk.”

Wasserman Schultz announced Sunday she is stepping down as Democratic National Committee chairwoman following the publication of hacked party emails.

Manafort also says Clinton’s selection of Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine as her running mate only reinforces her status as the establishment candidate.
