Former President Donald Trump has scheduled a press briefing at his golf resort in New Jersey, marking his second media event in recent weeks. This comes as he adopts a new approach, infused with vigor, in the lead-up to the Democratic National Convention next week.
During this period, Trump has intensified his critiques of Vice President Kamala Harris, despite not having held any recent press conferences or interviews with President Joe Biden, who has concluded his reelection campaign with efforts to regain his position.
Vice President Harris has had limited interactions with the media since becoming the Democratic nominee. Although she has traveled with journalists on Air Force Two, her engagements have mostly been brief exchanges during boarding or disembarking the aircraft.
In a recent fleeting discussion, Trump mentioned his desire to secure an interview by the end of the month.
Lately, Trump’s messaging has faced challenges, particularly during a campaign event in North Carolina, where he vowed to cut energy costs and foster “economic prosperity.” His frustration was palpable as he commented on the Democrats’ decision to position Biden as their primary candidate. He harshly criticized San Francisco, disparaging Harris’s tenure as a district fiscal there and launching personal attacks, including remarks on her intellect and demeanor.
A recent survey by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research indicates that Americans may trust Trump over Harris on key issues like the economy and immigration, bringing these topics back into the central narrative.
At his previous press conference, Trump derided Harris and faced questions about the enthusiasm surrounding her campaign. During the over-an-hour-long session, he reiterated several contentious and scripted assertions.
