Donald Trump, a Republican presidential candidate, is planning to hold a campaign rally on Saturday in Minnesota as he attempts to regain momentum after Vice President Kamala Harris quickly emerged as his new Democratic opponent last week.
The 52-year-old Midwestern state that has not voted for a Republican presidential candidate since more than half a century ago when Biden’s reelection bid was abandoned about three months before the last election and its results began shifting in favor of Trump.
Biden’s announcement on Sunday of Kamala Harris as his running mate caused many Democrats from across the country to rally behind her immediately and some few public opinion polls now suggest she has made up ground that Biden lost after their disastrous debate.
Trump’s campaign event takes place at an eight thousand seat hockey rink in St. Cloud, Minnesota where according to the US Secret Service should avoid large outdoor gatherings following an attempt on his life at a Pennsylvania rally two weeks ago.
Minnesota has not backed a Republican presidential nominee since Nixon won the state in 1972.
On Saturday, she will attend a private fundraiser, which comes after numerous stops this past week during which she spelled out issues at the center of her campaign including contrasting herself based on her background as a prosecutor versus Trump who she said has been convicted several times and accidently claimed that his administration aims at bringing back America’s previous time.
This gave fresh hope to a campaign that was struggling badly with doubts among Democrats over whether Biden can beat Trump or even complete his term in office once elected president. She raised over $100 million within 36 hours of Biden leaving office according to information from her team.
Harris is being tethered by both Trump and Vance; they claim that the government cannot solve high inflation or control migration from Mexico through its southern boundary. In addition, Republicans have represented Harris as more liberal and radical than Biden
Earlier today, he plans to deliver remarks at Bitcoin conference scheduled for Nashville tomorrow as part of GOP’s attempt to reach out to the crypto-owners for the November 5 election. The party has promised that it would involve itself less in crypto activities while at the same time, Trump criticized Democrats for their desire to regulate this industry.
The ex-president even called Bitcoin a “scam” 2021 while suggesting that American companies might start mining more of it.
“It is not so much a change in Republican Party as it is a revolution,” said Republican Senator Bill Hagerty of Tennessee during an interview with Reuters on Tuesday this week at this conference.
Before his speech, Trump will hold a fundraiser in Nashville with tickets costing from $60k to over $800k each; donors can also give digital currency as well, according to an invitation.
