The Trump campaign released a memo on Tuesday stating that President Donald Trump “has the momentum” to win in November.
The scathing letter blasted Vice President Kamala Harris and the mainstream media’s support for her as the Democratic presidential nominee.
“Three weeks ago, the Democrat’s newly crowned nominee — Kamala Harris — was leading in Nate Silver’s Electoral College modeling. The forecast has since inversed in President Trump’s favor,” the memo began.
“The state of the race is clear: with just nine weeks until the most consequential election in American history, the Trump-Vance Campaign has the momentum,” it continued.
The memo also called out the “Harris Honeymoon” as a distortion of reality.
“Do the Democrats and voters realize this? Or does the mainstream media, in its attempt to manage public opinion and continue the “Harris Honeymoon,” report a version of reality that is at odds with the facts?” the memo from Trump campaign spokespersons Chris LaCivita and Susie Wiles stated.
The strong words follow claims by mainstream media outlets like CNN that claim Trump is attempting to slow down the momentum held by Harris.
“Donald Trump is trying to crush Democratic nominee Kamala Harris’ persona as a force of change and to destroy her personal credibility as a potential president as their still-fresh competition careens into the final nine weeks before Election Day,” CNN reported Tuesday.
As RSBN reported on Tuesday, many polls show a statistical tie between Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris in the seven swing states that are vital for a victory. The seven states are Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
The latest Rasmussen Reports poll shows Harris up by one point nationwide. On Aug. 15, Trump was up by 10 points in a race that then included Robert F. Kennedy Jr. at 4 percent.
Despite the shift toward Harris in recent polling, the margin of error of 5 points shows a statistical tie. The seven swing states are expected to determine who wins the electoral vote.
The upcoming presidential debate is expected to play a major role in the future direction of polling. Trump and Harris are set to face off on Sept. 10 on ABC in Philadelphia.
