Trump’s campaign is struggling as he fails to effectively attack Kamala Harris.
Advisers now focus on him performing well at the September debate to regain momentum. The campaign hopes Trump can use the debate to energize voters, especially since previous strategies haven’t cut through. Muted microphones at the debate may work in Trump’s favor, limiting Harris’s ability to counter his claims. As the debate nears, the campaign’s main strategy hinges on Trump’s performance to shift the race dynamics.
