“It’s not defensible.”Yet, even as he seeks to keep the spotlight on Biden’s debate shortcomings, Trump is also entering a critical three-week stretch full of potential race-defining moments that could further alter the stakes of the election.
The Republican convention in Milwaukee will kick off a mere four days later.
Leveraging these moments presents opportunities for Trump to seize media coverage beyond the debate and further bolster his campaign coffers.
Before the debate had even ended, Trump’s campaign sent supporters a text message declaring he had “obliterated” Biden along with a link to purchase new apparel.
“I’ve always been of the opinion that this decision would come before the convention,” one Trump ally said.
