Trump ramps up rallies as Harris leads in several battleground states

Former President Donald Trump discussed the economy at a rally in North Carolina Wednesday but didn't provide many specifics on his policy proposals. The rally comes as Vice President Kamala Harris leads polls in several battleground states. CBS News political correspondent Caitlin Huey-Burns reports from Asheville, North Carolina, where Trump spoke. And CBS News political director Fin Gomez and Axios national politics reporter Sophia Cai join "America Decides" to discuss the state of the 2024 race.

In 2020, American voters said, *"YOU'RE FIRED!”*
Get ready to hear it again.

"Isn't it past his jail time?"

Trump's sentencing date for his 34 felony convictions can't get here soon enough.

Who doesn't know that the VP is mostly a symbolic role? The VP doesn't make their own policy in addition to the President, I hate these bad faith arguments, they are so disingenuous.

[rahimmajid]

Jeez... The rally in North Carolina...Kinda small auditorium, wasn't it?

[davidbrophy]

Nice of him to take a break from golfing and memorizing Project 2025. As Trump said if you vote for him you will only have to vote once and then never again.

So did he pay upfront for that venue? Did they require payment up front? What was the capacity? Other news agencies are on it, why not CBS?

[blueowlwill]

I can’t wait to see him lose AGAIN in November!!!

[ILoveGrilledCheese]

lol he’s so predictable. Harris gets bigger crowds so Trump rushes out to campaign

[guyporritt]

An empty room nobody cares about this guy

[elainemunro]

That’s an empty venue and he just left???

[EdKazO-Vision]

“Meandering” is too nice a word for this boring old geezer.

[thekingtheking]

Small room for small crowd and even with that still the room was empty

[michaelaldrich]

With inflation at it's lowest in 3 years, what can Trump run on?

[tejanoj]

It's only a matter of time until someone yells "YOU LIE" to convict Trump at his rallies.

[michaelccopelandsr]

Without hate and fear in your heart the MAGA party can't control you.

[tonyrossbackinthedaymusicv]

I'm EXCITED Again, I can't wait To VOTE For The Harris and Walz Ticket. November 2024.

[mbailey]

I am sick of the press normalizing Trump!!! Stop cowering. Do your job & fact check him!

[doppxdz]

Did anybody tells Trump is crowd size is too small!! Harris Walz 2024!!

[emmanuelwinner]

He's not ramping up rallies, he's ramping up group therapy sessions and public ranting. Because he's going demented.
