Donald Trump's increased inclination toward swing states
1. Frustration and chaos arouses in swing states as US elections are around the corner
As the US elections draw near, candidates are intensifying their efforts in swing states, leading to a flurry of rallies and television interviews as they seek to secure the final votes.
Amid this hustle, political analysts were intrigued when Republican nominee Donald Trump announced an expansion of his campaign into traditionally "deep blue" Democratic territories where he has little chance of winning.
Trump, 78, is set to appear in Aurora, Colorado, on Friday and California's Coachella Valley on Saturday. Next week, he will visit Chicago, Illinois, and on October 27, he will make an appearance at New York's iconic Madison Square Garden, home of the NBA's New York Knicks.
Of these states, Colorado is the only one that has voted Republican in a presidential election this century. Although it was the most competitive among the four in 2020, Biden still secured a significant victory, winning by 13 points.
Meanwhile, Trump is in a tight race with his Democratic opponent Kamala Harris in crucial swing states like Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, North Carolina, Georgia, Arizona, and Nevada—where a few thousand undecided voters could ultimately decide the presidency.
Given the tight timeline, why spend time in states with little chance of success just weeks before the November 5 election?
The Trump campaign did not provide a comment in response to inquiries, but aides indicated that the strategy involves appealing to voters in regions they believe are suffering from unsuccessful Democratic policies.
