Republican candidate, Former U.S. President, Donald Trump, has announced a short-notice media event at his Florida resort as rumblings of discontent hit his presidential campaign and poll numbers surged for his election rival Kamala Harris.
Trump announced this in a one-sentence post on his Truth Social platform after Kamala Harris and her new running mate, Tim Walz, have pulled large, jubilant crowds for her freshly energized Democratic bid to beat him in November.
Recall that since President Joe Biden withdrew from the race last month, Harris has turned the race for the White House upside down, raking in donations and erasing Trump’s lead in the polls.
Trump is described in US media reports as angry at how his campaign is now performing against Harris and how it dominates news coverage.
He is also reportedly unhappy with his young Republican running mate J.D. Vance, who has been described as a lackluster public speaker, making a poor impression on voters.
