A couple hours from now, former President Trump is set to deliver remarks during his first campaign event since the presidential debate in Tucson, Arizona. Given his focus on immigration during the debate, it is expected that he will touch upon this issue again, especially in a border state like Arizona.
Trump's campaign message in Arizona is being reinforced by significant advertising efforts, with his campaign and supporting super PACs collectively spending $33 million in the state. These ads have largely centered around immigration, crimes committed by migrants, and the southern border situation.
While the Republican spending in Arizona has been substantial, it falls short of the Democratic investment in the state leading up to the November election. However, the Trump campaign is directing a considerable amount of advertising resources towards Pennsylvania, a crucial swing state.
One of the key themes of Trump's economic message, which is expected to feature prominently in his speech, includes making housing more affordable and opposing taxes on tips. Despite immigration being a significant issue in Arizona, most voters in the state prioritize the economy as their top concern.
Trump's campaign strategy appears to be multifaceted, addressing both immigration and economic issues in different swing states to appeal to a broad range of voters. The upcoming event in Arizona is likely to provide further insights into his campaign's messaging and priorities as the election draws nearer.
