Trump Scrambles for Attention

“Donald Trump’s busiest week on the campaign trail collided with Kamala Harris’ most politically significant moment, a deliberate move by the Republican nominee to cede as little limelight as possible to his opponent,” Bloomberg reports.

“As ebullient Democrats convened in Chicago for their party’s nominating convention, Trump has spent the week trying to energize his own campaign, with an aggressive schedule taking him to five swing states in as many days, a stop at the US-Mexico border and interviews with major news outlets. That’s a marked shift for the former president, who has previously scheduled one or two public events a week.”

“The frantically arranged week belies Trump’s concerns that he’s lost the ability to drive the news cycle as he did when President Joe Biden, 81, was still running for reelection.”
