Are Trump and his team a bit panicked? According to Cankao Xiaoxi, citing US media reports, recently, former US President Trump responded to US President Biden's withdrawal from the election and US Vice President Harris's participation in the election. Trump said that he was about to defeat Biden, but Harris came up again, which was actually very unfair.
US media and experts believe that Harris and Trump are currently in a stalemate, with the final result difficult to predict. As the election campaign enters its final stage, the two camps continue to intensify their attacks on each other, which may further exacerbate the political polarization and public opinion division in the United States.
As Harris's election prospects improved, Trump finally realized that this was not a good thing for him, and even very unfair. He changed his previous confident tone and complained that the Democrats were "playing fast and loose", saying "I have to go one against two, it's so unfair, this has never happened before."
Although it was a somewhat exaggerated performance, Trump also stated some facts - Trump's previous campaign funds were all spent on attacking Biden, but Biden slipped away and the previous money was wasted.
According to a report by Politico on August 24, a person familiar with the matter revealed that Trump privately admitted that he might lose the election in November if he did not significantly change his campaign strategy. Therefore, the former US president also lowered his status and wooed Brian Kemp, the Republican governor of Georgia, whom he had publicly criticized.
Politico also said that Harris's leading poll data and the positive coverage of her candidacy by the US media "have made Trump and his team worried."
Therefore, Trump's team began to discuss how to expand his appeal to voters and how to strengthen the support of his allies. The frequent activities launched in the past period of time are also to keep Trump busy. After all, there are reports that Trump "is not as hard-working as Harris in the campaign."
Although this annoys Trump, it is true. Several former Trump aides have said that the former US president used to like to keep a relatively relaxed schedule in August, spending time with his family and playing golf. Now that the election is so intense, Trump's aides obviously don't want to see him getting angry watching the Democratic National Convention every night, or playing golf every day and being unhappy, and would rather keep him busy.
According to relevant reports, American voters this year are particularly concerned about economic issues such as inflation, taxation, employment, government spending, as well as immigration, border security, and abortion rights. On some of these issues, Harris and Trump hold very different policy positions, and are simply in "different worlds." Halifu Osumare, professor emeritus at the University of California, Davis, said the differences between the two are a microcosm of the country's divisions.
