Trump Struggles to Regain Momentum in North Carolina Amid Tight Race Against Harris

In a bid to rejuvenate his faltering campaign, Donald Trump appeared in North Carolina, a critical swing state. Despite his efforts, Trump trails Vice President Kamala Harris in national polls, focusing on deeply personal attacks instead of policy critiques, frustrating some of his allies and donors.

Trump's allies have expressed surprise at Harris' substantial fundraising figures following President Joe Biden's withdrawal from the race. Additionally, there's frustration over the campaign's inconsistent strategies against Harris, particularly concerning her racial identity and policies.

At an event in Asheville, Trump discussed economic hardships purportedly caused by the Harris-Biden administration. Meanwhile, Harris is set to visit North Carolina to present her economic policy aimed at reducing costs for middle-class families and tackling corporate price-gouging.
