Former President Donald Trump recently stated that he has not been actively campaigning due to his lead in the polls and to allow the Democratic National Convention to proceed. In response, the Harris-Walz 2024 campaign spokesperson, James Singer, highlighted Vice President Harris and Governor Walz's efforts in swing states to connect with voters and advocate for the middle class.
The latest polls indicate a close race leading up to the Democratic National Convention, set to commence on August 19. While Trump has not visited swing states recently and has no plans to do so in the upcoming week, Harris and Walz are actively engaging with voters, emphasizing unity and core American values.
Singer emphasized that the Harris-Walz campaign is focused on uniting Americans around themes of opportunity, freedom, and love of country. The statement also criticized Trump for what they perceive as a lack of dedication to the American people, contrasting his approach with the campaign's commitment to fighting for all citizens.
Despite Trump's absence from the campaign trail, he is scheduled to hold a rally in Montana to support GOP Senate candidate Tim Sheehy. The Harris-Walz campaign's response underscores their dedication to engaging with voters and championing the values they believe in.
