Republicans have been making lesser appearances compared to Democrats.
Trump’s personal jibes on Harris

I don’t have a lot of respect for her,” Trump was recorded saying
Trump also retorted, ““They want me to be nice. But they’re not being nice to me. They want to put me in prison,”however he did not announce any new policies. He made lofty claims however, claiming to reduce energy and electricity prices. Something which he admitted to he won’t be able to reach previously.
