WASHINGTON — Allies of Donald Trump see Tuesday's debate as a pivotal moment for the Republican presidential nominee — a chance to shore up support and turn the corner from Kamala Harris' post-nomination "honeymoon."
Trump allies are hopeful that the debate will cap a turnaround from the recent weeks of tumult and help him enter the fall on a competitive footing.
“Everyone on Team Trump firmly believes that we’re better-positioned to win,” said a source close to Trump.
Harris poses a different set of challenges for Trump on the debate stage.
“The Democrats and the Harris campaign have done an amazing job at messaging and hitting at the right time.
