Former President Donald Trump acknowledged during a Fox News “town hall” event in Harrisburg, Pa., that many voters don’t like him, but he pleaded with them to vote against Vice President Kamala Harris in the upcoming election. Trump emphasized the need for voters to be even more negative towards Harris, even if they dislike him personally. He previewed his strategy for the upcoming debate, stating that he plans to attack Harris on various issues to drive down her approval ratings.
During the event, Trump criticized ABC News, the debate sponsor, suggesting that they might give the Harris team questions in advance, which is strictly prohibited. He also expressed frustration over being labeled as “weird” by Democrats, stating that he and his running mate JD Vance are not weird but rather solid individuals.
In terms of the threat of violence, Trump mentioned the recent school shooting in Georgia and highlighted the increased security at political events following the assassination attempt on him in July. Despite the challenges, Trump urged voters to participate in early voting, including mail-in balloting, which he has opposed in the past. The latest national polls show Harris leading Trump by a 48%-43% margin, but there are still tight races in key battleground states.
Overall, Trump’s plea for votes from those who dislike him, his focus on attacking Harris, and his views on early voting and security concerns were the key highlights of the Fox News event.
