Trump shifts from unity script to attacks in post convention rally
Former President Donald Trump quickly abandons a unity message and returns to his typical denigrating rhetoric toward Kamala Harris at a North Carolina rally. He questions his own change while criticizing Harris and Biden, as the 2024 race shifts to a more dynamic dynamic between Harris’s energized campaign and Trump’s hybrid stance. The piece notes Harris’s rapid fund-raising surge, volunteer growth, and the evolving Democratic strategy, as well as Trump’s choice of Ohio Senator JD Vance and the GOP’s challenge to broaden appeal. Carl P. Leubsdorf, veteran observer, weighs in on the political realignment and the potential paths to November.
