Former Trump aide Sarah Matthews claims ex-POTUS is having 'meltdown' after choosing JD Vance as VP pick
WASHINGTON, DC: Donald Trump’s former aide Sarah Matthews has suggested that the former president is in a ‘meltdown.’
In a recent interview, she claimed, “I think that he feels this election slipping away from him, and that’s where you’re beginning to see him spiral.”
Donald Trump's former aides open up on his campaign
Anthony Scaramucci, an insider from Donald Trump’s inner circle said on the podcast 'The Rest is Politics', “He picked Vance - he knows Vance was a terrible, terrible pick.”
“He's lighting people up inside his campaign right now about picking Vance,” Scaramucci added.
The ex-aide served as communication director and was fired only days after joining Trump in 2017. It is reported that he may let go his present campaign managers Chris LaCivita and Susie Wiles.
Until now, the Trump campaign had targeted Joe Biden, but once he dropped out of the race, the team struggled to come up with stronger results, according to Daily Mail.
Kamala Harris was endorsed by the sitting president and her popularity has risen with $200 million in donations. Her performance at the polls has also rocketed in the recent weeks.
A Trump ally shared with Axios, “President Trump knows he's the only one who can end the media's honeymoon with Kamala Harris, and he sees a significant opening to do so with Harris' inability to defend her record on inflation and the border.”
“To get past the media force field protecting Harris, however, he knows he needs to be very specific with his policy contrasts and is planning on debuting a hard-hitting stump speech very soon,” the insider added.
Republican Nikki Haley suggests Donald Trump restructure his election campaign
Nikki Haley has adviced fellow Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump to refocus his campaign on key issues.
"I want this campaign to win. But the campaign is not going to win talking about crowd sizes. It's not going to win talking about what race Kamala Harris is. It's not going to win talking about whether she is dumb," she said.
"You can't win on those things,' Haley said. 'The American people are smart. Treat them like they're smart," Haley added.
Republican pollster Frank Luntz shared that Trump has 'the issues' on his side and his 'persona' is contributing to the drop in polls.
"If it's about issues, Trump is much more likely to be successful. If it's about attributes, Harris is much more likely to be successful, because quite frankly, people like her more than they like him,' Luntz said.
