Deep dives
The Current State of the Campaign
As the election approaches, both candidates appear to be playing defensively rather than taking bold offensive strategies. Trump is holding his typical rallies with decent turnout, while Vice President Harris is increasing her visibility through various media appearances, which some insiders suggest is a response to concerns about her campaign's previous lack of presence. A veteran campaign official noted that the Harris campaign is cautious and fearful of losing, in stark contrast to the more confident mindset seen in prior campaigns. Internally, the Harris team seems to view Trump as a formidable candidate, prompting a shift in their approach to focus more on competing against his strengths.
