Trump Campaigns in Battleground States Amid Harris Rivalry

As Donald Trump embarks on his busiest campaign week since winter, he is attempting to counter the Democratic celebration as Vice President Kamala Harris leads the opposing ticket. Trump has faced criticism from allies for his tendency to launch personal attacks on Harris, often overshadowing his policy messages and raising concerns about his appeal to swing voters. Despite his focus on key issues such as the economy, crime, and national security in upcoming events across battleground states, his outbursts and controversial remarks have unnerved supporters who believe he may jeopardize a winnable race. Trump is urged by allies to shift focus from personality-driven rhetoric to substantive policy discussions, as exemplified by Sen. Lindsey Graham's commentary on the importance of policy for success in the election. Critics within Trump's base echo this sentiment, emphasizing the need to concentrate on relevant topics over personal attacks. His campaign strategy includes a tour of states like Pennsylvania, Michigan, and North Carolina, where he will address major issues affecting voters.
