“Vice President Kamala Harris will hold a rally in Milwaukee on Tuesday night at the same basketball arena where former President Donald Trump accepted the Republican nomination just a month ago, at a time when his party believed he was coasting to victory against a hapless President Biden,” the New York Times reports.
“Ms. Harris’s choice of venue is the latest in a series of aggressive moves that seem designed to get under Mr. Trump’s notoriously thin skin.”
“Crowd size is one of the former president’s most reliable bugbears. Ever since 2016 — when his huge rallies seemed to foretell his unexpected victory against Hillary Clinton — Mr. Trump has been obsessed with how many people show up to hear him speak and how many come to hear his opponents.”
“If Ms. Harris is able to fill up Fiserv Forum’s roughly 18,000 seats, it could ignite another angry reaction from Mr. Trump.”
