Donald Trump Targets Kamala Harris Defends His Legacy

WASHINGTON – The Democratic convention is over. So is Donald Trump’s counter-convention tour. But, the former president’s struggle to keep up with nominee Kamala Harris goes on.
A week-long tour of battleground states made it clear: Trump must define Harris, fend off mocking Democrats, and deal with the fact that the incumbent vice president now polls higher than Biden did before he exited the 2024 race last month.

Friday marked Trump’s latest attempt to swing back.
On social media, the GOP nominee tried to defuse the abortion issue. He said his administration “will be great for women and their reproductive rights.” His comment drew mockery from Democrats. They recounted how Trump’s three Supreme Court appointees helped overturn Roe v. Wade and also pointed out that a large part of his political base wants to ban abortions. As Trump held events in Nevada and Arizona, he welcomed an endorsement from Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. He is an independent who will suspend his presidential run.

Now comes the post-convention phase of the campaign. It will last until at least the Trump-Harris debate on Sept. 10. It is less than a mile from Philadelphia’s historic Independence Hall. Trump campaign officials expected Harris’ poll numbers to rise in the wake of the Democratic convention. Now they will try to close the margin in the weeks ahead by playing up what Trump calls her “radical” record. How best to do that is a dispute even within the Trump campaign, a subject the candidate has brought up in public.
