Republican Vivek Ramaswamy also admitted that the last weeks were not particularly good for the GOP but Kamala Harris choosing Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate provided the reset that the party needed. The GOP campaign has hit a few speed bumps, Trump ally Lindsey Graham admitted.
“The Trump campaign has never taken anything for granted and we always fight like we’re the underdogs,” Steven Cheung, a Trump spokesman, said in a statement. “That’s especially true after an assassination attempt on President Trump heading into Convention. Our sole job is to help President Trump win the election, and we’re going to beat the brakes off the dangerously liberal Kamala-Walz ticket.”
‘Excitement around Harris-Walz’
Though Trump campaign is confident of the November win, at present they are “publicly struggling to manage the daily news cycle” as there’s lot of excitement around Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. People close to the campaign wondered whether the Trump campaign was caught off the guard though they predicted that Kamala Harris was going to be the nominee after Biden’s disastrous June 27 debate.
During the Trump-Biden campaign, there used to be one event a week, but now there is suddenly a flurry of activities — like a real presidential campaign, an aide said.
‘I will expose Kamala Harris’
Donald Trump went all guns blazing on Thursday morning with the campaign now turning to bring the assassination attempt on Trump into focus. Donald Trump’s Truth Social was bustling as Trump posted message after message and then announced that he will hold a general press conference at 2 pm. “I will expose Kamala during the Debate the same way I exposed Crooked Joe, Hillary, and everyone else during Debates – Only I think Kamala will be easier! DJT,” he wrote.
“If Kamala has 1,000 people at a Rally, the Press goes “crazy,” and talks about how “big” it was – And she pays for her “Crowd.” When I have a Rally, and 100,000 people show up, the Fake News doesn’t talk about it, THEY REFUSE TO MENTION CROWD SIZE. The Fake News is the Enemy of the People!” Trump wrote in another post.
