Concerns have caused fractures to appear inside Trumpworld, with some Maga allies criticizing advisers
Donald Trump’s campaign recognizes that it could lose in November if the election is decided on “vibes” and “energy”, according to people close to the former president, as Kamala Harris continues to ride waves of momentum with her newly announced running mate Tim Walz.
The concern has also started to open fractures inside Trumpworld, with some Maga allies criticizing Trump’s political advisers for running a campaign that may be too structurally deficient to stand up a ground game in swing states.
The Trump campaign has sketched out a strategy to hit back and are expected to cast the Harris campaign as the most progressive ticket, as they aim to get the political messaging back on their records in office and away from coverage about Harris’s extraordinary enthusiasm with voters.
Well, I know this might be a bit too morbid, but there was a huge shift in the US population, due to COVID. While most of the early COVID deaths were in major cities, eventually it did spread out everywhere, and only one side was advising people to avoid masks as a political statement and drink bleach instead of getting vaccinated. Overall, it might have been a very small shift in Red states vs. Blue states. But Trump won in 2016 based on a tiny margin in a few key states, and lost in 2020 similarly. It is conceivable that the voters who were able to vote in 2016 but not in 2020 due to COVID made a difference.
There was also a huge cultural shift, when the Court overturned RvW. Young women everywhere came to a realization about how important t it is to vote. And since then, every time an Abortion Rights referendum has appeared on the ballot, it has driven massive turnout. I think some young voters were complacent in 2016 and 2020, because they looked at the candidates and none of them resonated like Obama had. They aren’t complacent anymore.
