Top Trump allies see Saturday’s rally in Tulsa as a chance to reset the campaign after two weeks of playing defense and reclaim attention from anti-police protests that have dominated weeks of news coverage.
They believe the president has suffered from not being able to connect with voters and that he is the best person to throw a negative spotlight back on to presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden.
“Starting with the rally, we are going to crank things up to the next level,†said a senior campaign adviser.
