‘I’m going out because nobody’s selling it’: Trump and JD Vance kick off 32-day campaign blitz in deep-red Texas and Oklahoma
According to Trump, his party’s headwinds are merely a matter of poor public relations about a job he says is well done.
President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance will embark on a 32-day campaign blitz in heavily Republican areas ahead of the upcoming midterm elections. Trump's tour begins in Texas and Oklahoma, while Vance will campaign in Florida.
According to a recent poll, only 17% of U.S. adults approve of Trump's handling of the cost of living, and just 26% approve of his management of the economy, marking a new low. Republicans are expressing growing pessimism about their chances in the election, as the president has dismissed concerns about high costs and gas prices as his unpopular war in Iran continues.
Trump attributes his party's challenges to poor public relations, stating, "We're not getting the word out. I mean, we're just not getting it." He plans to travel extensively across the country to persuade GOP voters to support his name on the ballot, saying, "I'm going out because nobody's selling it."
Democrats accuse Trump and the Republicans of being desperate to rally their base as the midterm elections approach, with the DNC spokesperson Kendall Witmer stating, "Donald Trump and JD Vance started a deadly and costly war with Iran that sent the economy spiraling and pushed prices even higher."
