DNC targets Trump over rally crowd sizes in latest move

On Thursday, the Democratic National Committee (DNC) plans to target former President Trump by highlighting his fixation on crowd sizes at rallies. This initiative includes a video featuring Vice President Kamala Harris, which will be displayed on a mobile billboard near Trump's campaign event in Tucson, Arizona. The video showcases Harris discussing Trump's comments during a recent presidential debate, where she criticized his tendency to make outlandish claims and noted that attendees often leave his rallies early due to boredom. During the debate, Harris pointed out that Trump has made bizarre references, such as mentioning fictional characters like Hannibal Lecter and claiming that windmills cause cancer. She contrasted this with her own rally attendance, suggesting that while Trump’s crowds dwindle, her events draw similar numbers, albeit with shorter speeches. Trump's response to Harris's comments included accusations that she pays people to attend her rallies, which he claims undermines her credibility. The DNC's strategy aims to provoke Trump by using his own words against him, framing his rally attendance as a point of weakness. This tactic is part of a broader campaign to undermine Trump's appeal as he seeks to regain the presidency in 2024. The DNC hopes that by focusing on crowd sizes, they can shift the narrative and draw attention to the differences in their campaign styles. As the election approaches, both parties are intensifying their efforts to sway public opinion. The DNC's move to leverage crowd size as a talking point reflects a calculated approach to highlight perceived vulnerabilities in Trump's campaign strategy.
