Former President Trump and running mate Sen. JD Vance are set to counterprogram the Democratic National Convention with a full week of campaign events in battleground states. Trump and Vance will be holding events in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, North Carolina, Arizona, and Nevada throughout the week, highlighting key issues such as the economy, crime, national security, immigration, and taxes.
The move comes as Vice President Kamala Harris, who has been riding a wave of momentum since taking over as the Democratic nominee, faces pressure for not holding a news conference or major interview since President Biden backed her as his successor. Trump campaign co-chairs have criticized Harris for her policies and lack of media availability, accusing her of being a “disaster for our nation.”
Both Trump and Vance will be joined by top surrogates as they make their case to voters in crucial swing states. The campaign plans to hold news conferences at Trump’s Chicago hotel throughout the week, aiming to reach American families directly and ask for their support.
Meanwhile, Harris and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz will be traveling to key battleground states to headline rallies and make their case to voters. The 2024 election has been upended by Biden’s decision to end his re-election campaign following a poor debate performance against Trump, setting the stage for a highly contested race between the two parties.
