Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign is responding to former President Donald Trump’s stated reasoning for not hitting the campaign trail recently.
Trump said during a news conference at his Mar-a-Lago resort on Thursday that he hasn’t been campaigning because “I’m leading by a lot and I’m letting their convention go through.”
The latest polls show a tight race ahead of the Democratic National Convention, which starts on August 19. In a statement, Harris-Walz 2024 spokesperson James Singer said: “Donald Trump has not visited a swing state this week and apparently isn’t visiting any next week either. Being president is about who you fight for. Vice President Harris and Governor Walz are barnstorming swing states meeting with voters, fighting for the middle class, and earning every vote. Our campaign is centered around what unites America: opportunity, freedom, and love of country.”
“Donald Trump is too lazy to fight for anything but himself or leave his country club – fine by us,” the statement added. Trump is scheduled to hold a rally tonight in Montana to boost GOP Senate candidate Tim Sheehy.
