Harris Blitzes Battlegrounds as Trump’s Schedule Raises Eyebrows

Donald Trump is scheduled to campaign in a safe Republican state on Friday, while Kamala Harris is traveling across battleground states that could determine the outcome of the November election. Harris has gained momentum, leaving her opponent scrambling.

With election day approaching in three months, Trump’s campaign schedule is noticeably light, with a rally only every four or five days. This is in sharp contrast to Harris, who is almost 20 years younger, maintaining a hectic campaign schedule. In 2016, Trump was actively campaigning, holding multiple events a day in August. However, this year, Trump has only held five rallies since the Republican National Convention in mid-July and has no events planned for next week.

Trump is venturing out of Florida for the first time in Montana, a state he is expected to easily win. At a press conference in Florida, Trump defended his absence in battleground states by stating that he is leading significantly and waiting for the Democratic National Convention to conclude.

– ‘Low energy’ –

Trump’s campaign has been labeled as “low energy” by Harris’s team, with his former communications chief criticizing the choice of an older candidate. Since replacing Biden on the ticket and selecting Tim Walz as her running mate, Harris has seen a significant surge in support.

Trump seemed thrown off by Harris’s rise, dismissing her polling numbers and criticizing her for avoiding interviews. During a press conference, he made several confusing remarks and attacked Harris’s intelligence and competence.

– ‘Earning every vote’ –

Meanwhile, Harris and Walz continue their tour of swing states, with upcoming stops in Arizona and Nevada. The White House aides are becoming optimistic about winning these states, as they have been shifted from “lean Republican” to “toss up” by election forecasters.

Harris’s campaign spokesman emphasized that she is earning every vote through her extensive travel and focus on unifying America. Policy discussions have taken a backseat in the campaign, with recent events overshadowing issues like inflation. However, Harris and Biden will address tackling inflation in Maryland during their first joint campaign trip since Biden’s withdrawal from the race.
