Donald Trump continues to dominate the media by going off script, while Kamala Harris' closing message remains unclear.
Harris' final pitch to voters is that she is pro-abortion and not Trump.
It is unclear what final impression Kamala Harris desires to convey to voters in the remaining two weeks, while Donald Trump has finalized his closing message.
Trump has narrowed his focus to immigration and the economy, as I previously reported. However, the former president has also strayed from the topic to discuss Arnold Palmer's genitalia and calling Harris a "s*** vice president," as well as stealing the limelight with his fry-cookery at McDonald's.
Despite not receiving much attention during her campaign, Harris has the potential to win, as National Review's Jim Geraghty argues that the GOP's portrayal of her as a fool is incorrect.
In the final stretch, the vice president is highlighting two key issues: abortion rights, a contentious topic that benefits Democrats, and Trump's perceived lack of empathy.
In nearly every appearance, Harris refers to Trump as "unstable and unhinged."
Politicians have been slandering their opponents since the founding of the republic, with struggling candidates frequently resorting to fear-mongering to tarnish their opponents' reputations, arguing that while they may not be perfect, their opponents pose an even greater threat to the country's well-being.
Since the day after Joe Biden stepped aside, it was known that the 60-year-old veep was running as the anti-Trump. Despite her opponent hurling invective at her, her amped-up rhetoric, and the fodder that Trump provides, saying he's a threat to democracy has always been in her playbook.
The sudden surge of articles questioning the 78-year-old's mental abilities is in stark contrast to the media's silence on Biden's declining fitness until his disastrous debate with Trump, which led him to drop out of the race under Democratic pressure.
From my interview at Trump Tower, I can confirm that he appeared alert and articulate, regardless of whether you agreed with his responses. The most significant news emerged from his defense of characterizing Jan. 6 as a "day of love" and labeling Nancy Pelosi and Adam Schiff as "the enemy within," which were clips that provided fodder for Jon Stewart's punchlines on "The Daily Show."
Pelosi's spokesman denied Schiff's remarks about her turning down the National Guard in a statement to Rolling Stone.
Currently, Liz Cheney serves as her chief surrogate, despite the fact that most Democrats detest her and her father, Dick Cheney, who has also endorsed Harris, for their support of the Iraq War and their conservative ideology.
At a town hall meeting in Michigan, Harris answered three questions from the audience, while her staff had preselected the journalists who asked her three questions.
Cheney's argument: "If individuals are hesitant and considering their stance on Vice President Harris, I would assert that no one is more conservative than I am, and the most fundamental conservative principle is to uphold the Constitution."
It's well-known that everyone who watched January 6 knows what Donald Trump is capable of. He lost the election, attempted to overturn it, and sought to seize power.
While several prominent Republicans, including former Trump administration officials, are backing Harris, she hasn't changed any policies that would appeal to conservative voters or challenged liberal orthodoxy. Additionally, she hasn't been able to name any major differences between her and Biden.
Despite her tense conversation with Bret Baier, Harris later spoke with Al Sharpton, a supporter, in an interview that did not generate any newsworthy content. She maintained that she had no issue with Black men, despite her campaign's actions, which included visiting Black churches and restaurants, speaking with Charlamagne Tha God, and rallying with Lizzo.
Despite his efforts, Harris struggles to generate fresh headlines against a politician who consistently captures attention with frequent news updates.
Trump admitted to me in our Mar-a-Lago interview that he uses inflammatory language to attract media attention. He does this because he knows that discussing controversial topics, such as Arnold Palmer's genitals, will generate outrage from the other side but will also appeal to some men.
The brief stint of The Donald at McDonald's was so noteworthy that it was repeatedly replayed. Harris skillfully stated that she supports raising the federal minimum wage, while Trump opposes it.
Politicians have been using symbolic backdrops or doing working-class jobs for a long time. The New York Times has reported that a friend claims she worked with Harris at a specific Bay Area McDonald's in 1983.
Critics of the media accused him of losing his mind, citing his use of profanity, dancing to music during a town hall meeting that was interrupted by two medical emergencies, and turning it into a concert as evidence.
Joe Rogan has agreed to interview Trump, despite previously stating that he would never have him on his podcast. Meanwhile, it's unclear what happened to Harris' plans to speak with Rogan.
Last night on "NBC Nightly News," Harris sat down with Hallie Jackson for an interview.
Harris was asked a series of tough questions, but she did not provide any new information. When asked about the gender gap among men, she stated that she sees men and women at her events and does not believe there is any sexism involved.
She shifted the conversation to discussing Trump's potential termination of the Constitution when Jackson mentioned that her messages had not reached their intended audience. She stated that she would not compromise on abortion rights. She also declined to criticize Elon Musk.
If Trump prematurely declares victory, it's nothing new.
Kamala has a limited time to change the national perception of her by doing something unexpected or remarkable, deviating from her usual responses. Despite having raised a billion dollars for a strong campaign, her success now depends on her final message.
