Trump’s Last-Minute Push: Campaign Stops in Unlikely States
Albuquerque, Salem, USAFri Nov 01 2024
Former President Donald Trump is shaking up his final days of campaigning by heading to New Mexico and Virginia. These states haven’t seen a Republican victory in ages, but Trump’s team is hopeful. He’s kicking off his swing in Albuquerque, New Mexico, on Thursday. Later, he’ll visit Arizona and Nevada, followed by a stop in Salem, Virginia, on Saturday. Trump believes he can give Vice President Kamala Harris a run for her money in these traditionally blue states. His speech is set to start at 2 p. m. EDT.
Trump’s decision to campaign in these states is a strategic move. He’s trying to broaden the Republican reach and maybe even tip the scales in his favor. New Mexico has been a Democratic stronghold for a long time, but Trump sees an opportunity. It’s a bold move, and it’s got everyone talking. Will it pay off? Only time will tell.
The campaign trail is heating up, and Trump is making a bold play. By targeting states like New Mexico and Virginia, he’s showing that no state is off-limits in his quest for victory. It’s a risky strategy, but one that could potentially reshape the political map.
