    It’s not unheard of during a general election campaign for opposing candidates to cross paths as they travel, especially given the compressed map that limits much of the campaign activity to a relative few states that will determine the Electoral College winner.

    But also, what exactly is the AP doing here? The Trump campaign purposefully scheduled JD Vance to follow Harris to all these places after she released her schedule. They’re not just “crossing paths as they travel,” he’s literally following her

    PS What is Trump even doing this week? Is Vance campaigning alone now?

      Trump is too old to keep up with Kamala’s schedule. And he hates the photos of the same venue really full for Kamala and half full for him, so he’s avoiding the comparison like he’s avoiding the debate. He hates being seen to lose. He’s the world’s sorest loser.

      That poor guy…why schedule the scrub newbie to go on stage after the major blowout headliner? Must be Vance’s punishment for sucking. Gonna be fun when Kamala starts posting up the comparison of each event he follows to hers. HAHAHAHA

      and yeah, I get trump’s “strategy”, but he is using checkers in a chess game and expecting the same plays to work.

      Uncreative, boring, poorly thought out. Weird ancient strats in a modern battlefield. Weak.
