Trump struggles to keep media spotlight in battle with Harris, updated 2 hours ago. Republican p?former U.S. President Donald Trump speaks at a rally in Glendale, Arizona, U.S. noted:
Nov. 5 election. He rather or his frequent personal attacks against Vice President Harris' looks, Black & Indian heritage intelligence, warning they could turn off the moderate voters he needs to win?.
At an event in Arizona later, the former president repeated his tax pledge, while promising to set up a commission to investigate presidential assassination attempts. He also said he would install a panel to investigate "an increase in chronic health problems and childhood diseases."
Both proposals are apparent concessions to independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who endorsed Trump at the event after dropping out of the race.
Trump's comments come one day after Harris accepted the Democratic Party's presidential nomination with a muscular speech that laid down broad foreign policy principles and sharp contrasts with Trump with 11 weeks left until Election Day.
Trump sought to counter-program the four-day convention with events of his own around the country, hoping to steal some media attention from Harris. However, his speeches on foreign policy, the economy and crime did little to dislodge the spotlight from Harris and received little attention - a stunning turnabout for a politician used to dominating headlines.
Republican his aides hope Thursday's boisterous convention finale marks end of the honeymoon period for Harris, as Democratic candidate after Joe Biden exited race & endorsed her. Trump attacked her with dozens of posts on his Truth Social platform, calling her a liar, a Marxist and "Comrade Kamala Harris." One post simply asked: "IS SHE TALKING ABOUT ME?"
William Rosenberg, a political science professor at Drexel University, said Trump's personal attacks on Harris underscored his frustration with having to face a biracial woman, a task complicated by his history of making racist remarks."His anger his words speak volumes," Rosenberg said. "He's navigating a path which is full of problems for him." Harris polling aggregator website on FiveThirtyEight putting her ahead of Trump in 6 of 7 battleground states, outraising her Republican counterpart. Her campaign told the Federal Election Commission this week she raised $204 million, compared to $48 million reported to the body by Trump's main fundraising group.
A question still to be answered is whether Harris will also outpace Trump on trail coming weeks. easing pressure on Trump to travel more around the country. That may now change with Harris, 59.
Trump, 78, will travel to Detroit on Monday to address a conference National Guard Association of US scheduled to give a speech at conservative women's group's annual summit in Washington on Friday.Campaign spokesperson Karoline Leavitt said Trump would hold at least one additional campaign stop between those two events, without providing details.
