Trump’s immediate complaint that Biden was no longer the nominee showed how intimidated he was by Kamala Harris speaking to tens of thousands of supporters in a packed arena in Arizona.
Local officials had to move people away from the venue where Harris and Walz spoke hours before the rally because it was full.
Meanwhile, in Montana, Trump arrived an hour and a half late to speak at a venue that could accommodate up to 8,544 people. As soon as he took the stage, he said:
You know, he wanted to debate. If we didn’t debate, he would still be there. Can you imagine? Why on earth should I argue with him? Do you think he is happy? I don’t think so. He wasn’t too happy. You know they took it away from him, they did. That guy has 14 million votes, she doesn’t, but I’d rather run against her. I think she’s easier to beat.

Compared to the noise, energy and excitement of Harris’ rally, Trump’s event in Montana felt like a funeral.
Sure, everyone is there and playing their part, but there’s a certain darkness hanging over everything. trump card None of the energy he had before was reflected in his relatively lackluster crowd.
Rallies should be Trump’s thing, but now, Kamala Harris Blow him away.
Trump barely attends a campaign event each week, and he can’t keep his energy up.
Donald Trump looks flustered and he may be starting to believe he is going to lose this election.
