Staff ReportsFormer President Donald Trump is hitting the campaign trail in the “must-win” swing states with all the enthusiasm of a bulldog on a scent. After months of strategizing, his return to the battlegrounds kicks off in Pennsylvania and leads through states like Georgia, North Carolina, Michigan, and Wisconsin. It seems he’s ready to remind voters what a real campaign looks like, especially as his running mate, Sen. J.D. Vance, joins him in rallying the base across the South and Midwest.
Starting with a rally in Savannah, Georgia, Trump’s agenda includes tax cuts and a boost for domestic manufacturing—policies aimed at rekindling the American spirit. Not too long ago, Georgia found itself turning blue by a razor-thin margin during the 2020 election, but Trump has set his sights on reclaiming this crucial state. Harris may be yipping about maintaining enthusiasm in Georgia, but one can only hope her bus tour in the Peach State is enough to rally any remaining votes. Who could forget that time Savannah, a truly historical city, played host to a Democrat’s agenda? This time, Trump aims to flip it back to red.

Next on the itinerary is Mint Hill, North Carolina, where Trump will hold another rally. With recent scandal involving GOP gubernatorial candidate Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson, it’s a wonder that Trump hasn’t taken a step back or changed his plans. Instead, he’s focused on painting a brighter picture without mentioning Robinson. The Trump campaign appears unflappable, showcasing that they still have faith in the Tar Heel State despite recent controversies. Meanwhile, Kamala Harris is throwing her hat into the ring, probably hoping to rekindle Obama-era enthusiasm, which feels akin to trying to light a bonfire in a rainstorm.
Fast forward to Friday, when the former president pitches his ideas in Michigan, with stops in Walker and Warren. Here, Trump plans to tackle inflation and bolster the auto industry, because it seems that nobody has been talking about those issues since Biden took office—newsflash: they have! Trump’s return to Michigan comes with some heavy history; he barely won the state in 2016 but lost it by a wide margin in 2020. This time around, he’s betting that Michiganders are longing for the days of prosperity under his previous administration.
Finally, Trump wraps up his week in Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin—his sixth visit of the year. The state is a critical battleground, with its population divided right down the middle between Republican and Democrat. Team Trump is hitting Wisconsin hard with a bus tour that will crisscross the state, featuring prominent GOP surrogates. The hope is that a combined effort can sway the scales back in favor of a Republican candidate, especially after Biden’s slim victory in 2020. One thing is certain: Trump is showing up and throwing down, and it’s clear he intends to make Election Day a showdown worthy of the history books.
