The Latest: Trump held rally in North Carolina; Harris campaign launches $90M ad buy
Donald Trump held a rally and speech in North Carolina on Wednesday that his campaign billed as a significant economic address, though the former president spent much of his time airing grievances against his rivals and veering toward familiar topics like the U.S.-Mexico border. Set in a Democratic city surrounded by staunchly Republican mountain counties, the event carried both national and local implications for the former president.
Meanwhile, Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign is launching a $90 million advertising effort over the next three weeks to introduce the Democrat to voters and sharpen the contrast with Trump. The media buy marks her campaign’s largest-yet investment in messaging to voters with just 2 1/2 months until Election Day in November.
