Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Whatley said Wednesday that the Trump campaign is “playing offense” on the 2024 campaign trail, claiming that recent moves by the Democratic Party signal it is attempting to hold on to typically blue states.
Vice President Kamala Harris‘s campaign has made stops in various states where Trump was gaining support earlier this year, including the Democratic presidential nominee visiting New Hampshire on Wednesday and second gentleman Doug Emhoff visiting Virginia on Monday. Whatley assured the Republican Party is still campaigning in those states, even after President Joe Biden dropped his reelection bid.
“We’re playing offense, and they are playing defense,” Whatley said on Fox News’s America’s Newsroom. “That’s the simplest way to put it. When you think about it, Donald Trump is reaching out to every single American family. He’s reaching out to every single voter, and that includes states like Virginia and New Hampshire and Minnesota, where the Democrats are having to play defense. You think about every single one of the battleground states that we’re playing in right now, Donald Trump has leads. Donald Trump is solidifying those leads. Kamala Harris’s sugar high has ended, and we are returning right now, coming out of Labor Day, into this campaign season for real, and Donald Trump is in a great place, and we’re playing offense.”
