ANALYSIS — Donald Trump has been chucking plenty of messaging spaghetti at the proverbial wall as he searches for a line of attack against Vice President Kamala Harris.
During a wide-ranging news conference on Thursday, the former president and GOP nominee threw out some new messaging noodles meant to slow the early momentum of the surprise Democratic presidential nominee. Meanwhile, at campaign stops this week in key battleground states, Harris stuck to her main arguments that Trump, if elected, would erode constitutional norms and gut popular social programs.
As Harris has taken a lead, albeit narrowly, in some national polls and made a number of battleground state polls competitive again, Trump has been mostly at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida.
