She now joins presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump on still highly-contested and now highly predictable November 2016 presidential ballot. Over the course of the election, both presumptive candidates have remained, with the exception of HilaryHillary's recent and non-specific [https://www.hillaryclinton.com/issues/small-business/ issue webpage] on small business, silent and non-committal on the topics of entrepreneurship and small business policy.
