Trump Mulls a Campaign Shake Up

August 8, 2024 · 8:17 pm ET · Leave a Comment

Tara Palmeri: “Despite yet another whirlwind week of campaign news, the dour mood inside Mar-a-Lago hasn’t changed much at all. In fact, according to sources familiar with the situation, new frustrations seem to be cropping up all the time: Trump is not only pissed about Kamala Harris’s bonkers fundraising ($310 million in July, and another $36 million in the 24 hours after announcing Tim Walz), but also the fact that his campaign hasn’t been able to land any blows on his more youthful political foil.”

“And instead of focusing on his own spate of unforced errors—like absurdly questioning her racial identity—he’s glancing around him, wondering if it’s time for a reshuffle. His campaign, naturally, wants to keep him ‘on task,’ but outside voices appear to be breaking through, and are starting to have more sway over the principal than the homebound and deferential denizens of Mar-a-Lago.”
