Harris-Walz on the offence; Trump campaign disoriented and deflated

But even with all the momentum that the Democrats have gained in recent weeks, they remain vulnerable when it comes to the issue of the economy

    • Walz has emerged as a powerful advocate of Harris, describing himself as the head of “White Dudes for Harris”, and as a critic of the Republicans, saying “these guys are just weird” – a comment that has become a popular Democratic line of attack.

    IT NOW seems like ancient history: Former president Donald Trump, his ear bandaged – a living martyr after the assassination attempt against him – his fist raised as he addressed thousands of Republican delegates who cheered him on that first night of the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee.

    Public opinion surveys had indicated that candidate Trump was ahead of 81-year-old President Joe Biden, then the presumed Democratic presidential candidate, in national polls and also in key battleground states such as Pennsylvania, Michigan and Arizona.

    Only one question was on the minds of Trump and his supporters then: What will be his margin of victory in November? But now, all of that is a foggy memory.
