The video of former President Donald Trump falling to the ground, then rising to his feet from underneath a pile of Secret Service agents with blood streaked across his cheek, pumping his fist in the air and shouting “fight, fight, fight,” is a powerful display of strength and determination. Despite being shot in the ear by a would-be assassin, Trump’s response embodies his narrative of strength and resilience in the face of adversity. The footage has not been used in his campaign to return to the Oval Office, as his advisers are cautious about shifting focus away from the substantive issues that they believe give him an advantage over his Democratic rival, Vice President Kamala Harris.
Polls show a close race across seven battleground states, with Trump expected to make his final case to voters at a rally in New York City. Trump’s campaign is focusing on three key issues – immigration, inflation, and Israel – where they believe he can differentiate himself from Harris. Despite his strong stance on these issues, Trump has also been veering into personal attacks and off-topic subjects in his speeches, which could distract from his core message.
A recent campaign ad highlights Harris’s association with Biden and paints the current administration as ineffective and heading in the wrong direction. The ad aims to sway voters by arguing that America needs a change, and only Trump can lead the country in a new direction. The challenge for Trump will be to maintain focus on his key issues and goals, rather than getting sidetracked by personal attacks and tangential topics as the election approaches.
