While the Democratic National Convention will serve as a national pitch for Vice President Kamala Harris‘s White House bid, former President Donald Trump‘s campaign is not sitting idly as the Democrats gather in Chicago.
The Trump campaign announced a slew of events with the presidential nominee and Trump’s running mate, Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH), in several key battleground states. The events will center on several key issues of the campaign, including the economy, crime, national security, and immigration.
On Monday, Trump will host an event on the economy in York, Pennsylvania, while Vance will hold an event on the same topic in Philadelphia. Trump and Vance will hold events about crime on Tuesday, with Trump going to Detroit, Michigan, and Vance going to Kenosha, Wisconsin.
On Wednesday, Trump and Vance will hold an event focusing on national security in North Carolina, while on Thursday, Trump and Vance will host individual events about immigration. Trump’s Thursday event will be in Montezuma Pass, Arizona, while Vance’s event that day will be in Valdosta, Georgia.
Trump will hold two events on Friday, including a rally in Glendale, Arizona, and an event focusing on his “no tax on tips” proposal in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The Republican’s campaign said it is hoping to provide a contrast to the DNC, where they claim Harris’s campaign will “hide behind celebrities because everyday families know that she has been an absolute disaster for our nation.”
