Trump to counter DNC with travel to swing states
By Brett Samuels - 08/14/20 10:51 AM EDT
President Trump next week will seek to counter the Democratic National Convention by traveling to three potential swing states to go on the attack against Joe Biden, his presumptive November opponent.
Trump will visit Minnesota and Wisconsin on Monday and fly to Arizona on Tuesday, the Trump campaign announced. The campaign offered few details on the president's travel, other than to say Trump would be "highlighting Joe Biden's record of failure."
The president is also expected to be in Biden's hometown of Scranton, Pa., next Thursday, though that trip has yet to be officially announced. That visit would coincide with the day of Biden's acceptance speech in Delaware.
The events may resemble Trump's traditional campaign rallies, as they are all slated to be held at or near aircraft hangars or airports. The Trump campaign has held off on large rallies in recent months due to the coronavirus pandemic and after an indoor rally in Tulsa, Okla., fell short of attendance expectations and likely led to a surge in cases in the area.
