Democrat Hillary Clinton, confident of winning the U.S. presidency in next month's election, is now dismissive of Republican Donald Trump and making new efforts to elect more Democrats to Congress to support her legislative agenda.

"I don't even think about responding to him any more," Clinton said of Trump's taunts that she is corrupt and unfit to claim the White House.

The former U.S. secretary of state, looking to become the country's first female president, told reporters aboard her campaign plane late Saturday that in the last 16 days before the November 8 election she plans to emphasize "the importance of electing Democrats down the ballot" in an effort reclaim control of Congress, where Republicans now have a majority in both chambers.

Clinton, now given a 9-in-10 chance by polling analysts of winning the election, has redirected millions of dollars from her campaign to states normally won by Republican presidential candidates in an effort to expand her lead over Trump and help Democratic candidates running against incumbent Republican lawmakers. The analysts say Democrats could reclaim control of the Senate, but face an uphill fight in the House Representatives where Republicans currently hold a wide advantage.
