Trump rallies in St. Cloud, Minnesota amid campaign turmoil
- Trump rallied in St. Cloud, Minnesota, expressing confidence in winning the state if the election is honest.
- His campaign is focusing on traditional battleground states, reserving significant airtime for advertising in pivotal areas.
- Despite optimism, internal polling indicates challenges in states like New Hampshire, suggesting a need for strategic adjustments.
During a rally in St. Cloud, Minnesota, Donald Trump expressed confidence in winning the state, claiming that an honest election would lead to a significant victory. However, his campaign strategy appears to focus on traditional battleground states, with substantial advertising investments in Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Georgia, Nevada, and Arizona, where he aims to regain lost ground from the 2020 election. Despite his optimism for Minnesota, internal polling suggests that states like New Hampshire are no longer considered competitive for Trump, leading to a shift in campaign resources. The Trump campaign's efforts in states like Minnesota and Virginia have forced the opposing Harris campaign to allocate resources to defend these areas, indicating a strategic battle for voter support. As the election approaches, the Trump campaign is ramping up its ground operations in Georgia, a state that flipped to Biden in 2020, while facing challenges in Nevada due to strong support for abortion rights and internal party dynamics. The overall landscape suggests a complex and competitive race, with both parties investing heavily in key states to secure electoral votes.
