Former President Donald Trump made an unexpected campaign move by holding a rally in typically Democratic California just 22 days before the November 5 election. Despite Vice President Kamala Harris’ popularity in the state, Trump aimed to shore up Republican support and impact races for the House of Representatives.
With control of Congress at stake this election season, Trump’s visit to California was seen as an effort to boost Republican representation in the House. Additionally, Trump hoped to increase his vote count, potentially winning the popular vote along with the Electoral College, which he lost to Joe Biden in 2020.
Trump’s campaign strategy included visits to other battleground states like Nevada and Arizona, typical destinations for the final weeks of a presidential campaign. Conversely, Harris visited North Carolina to assess hurricane damage and promote her economic plan.
The campaign also took a sharp turn towards personal attacks, with Harris questioning Trump’s fitness for office due to his failure to release health exams. In response, Trump’s campaign emphasized his excellent health and accused Harris of lacking stamina.
The election is rapidly approaching, and both candidates are making strategic maneuvers to secure key battlegrounds and mobilize support. Trump’s California rally was just one part of a larger campaign blitz that aimed to sway undecided voters and solidify support in crucial states.
