Meanwhile, Harris has aggresively hit the campaign trail, hoping to fire up voters in battleground states across the country
On Thursday, former president Donald Trump attempted to — yet again — recalibrate his campaign, this time with a press conference at his property in Bedminster, New Jersey.
The appearance at his beloved golf course comes exactly one week after Trump tried to put the spotlight back on himself amid Vice President Kamala Harris’s surging poll numbers, with a press conference at his Florida home of Mar-a-Lago. He used the event to grumble over crowd sizes, at one point stating incorrectly that his speech before the January 6 riot at the Capitol had more attendees than Martin Luther King’s 1963 March on Washington.
It’s noteworthy that both of these “press conferences” happened at his own properties — the safest of spaces for the former president.
What 24-person event?
Edit: oh, I guess this.
Politifact says it’s false.
People are saying it was a weak and low energy crowd of 24. Repubs have been telling me for years to use the “people are saying” standard for fact checking.
Good point.
