For the first time since Trump established his dominance in the Republican nomination fight, his campaign has found itself publicly struggling to manage the daily news cycle as excitement around Harris has swelled along with her campaign activity.
It has left people close to the campaign wondering why Trump and his team seemed ill-prepared, given that they had privately speculated for weeks after Biden’s disastrous June 27 debate performance that Harris was going to be the nominee.
“It’s unfair that I beat him and now I have to beat her, too,” Trump told an ally in a phone call last weekend.
The fundraising edge Trump enjoyed for two months was swallowed by Harris’s $310 million fundraising surge in July — about $170 million more than he announced for the same month.
The much-larger Harris campaign now appears poised to take advantage of a new outpouring of grassroots energy, including more than 1.3 million voters who have signed up for campaign events since she entered the race for president, according to her campaign.

Can't be a republican if you're not a victim.
Gosh Trump sure is looking old these days! Hunched over. Wrinkled. Saggy jowls. Hairspray and makeup can only do so much.
