According to reports from The Hill, GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump held a press conference at his Bedminster, New Jersey property, where he addressed criticism from fellow Republicans about his personal attacks against Vice President Kamala Harris. Despite pleas from allies to stop, Trump stood firm in his belief that he is "entitled" to attack Harris due to his anger towards her actions and lack of respect for her intelligence. He even went as far as saying that she would make a terrible president.
The conference was filled with reporters questioning Trump's tactics and citing comments made by Nikki Haley and Peter Navarro, both of whom have expressed concerns about the direction of the campaign. Haley, a former presidential hopeful, stated that the campaign cannot win by focusing on trivial matters such as crowd sizes and personal attacks, while Navarro, a former White House trade adviser, believes Trump should be focusing on swing voters in key battleground states. However, despite their advice, Trump remains confident in his own approach and even announced new members to his team during the conference, including former aides and outside advisers.
Despite the criticism and advice, Trump continues to believe that he is ahead in the polls and will beat Harris by a wider margin than he would have beaten President Joe Biden. He also took a moment to discredit Harris, saying that people don't even know who she is. This statement is in contrast to recent poll results that show voters trust Trump more than Harris on issues such as immigration and the economy. As Harris plans to announce her economic policy during an upcoming rally, it seems that the race is heating up and the GOP base may be starting to fracture.
