Donald Trump has already declared he’s running again, and indeed, has been campaigning for reelection since he stepped into the White House. But he needs something to draw attention away from his poll numbers, lack of policy achievements, and the upcoming Democratic debates, so here we are, with a campaign “kick off.” We begin today’s roundup with an analysis of Donald Trump’s latest campaign rally from Asawin Suebsaeng at The Daily Beast:
On Tuesday night, President Trump will arrive in this central Florida city to officially and publicly launch his 2020 campaign, to what is expected to be a large, overflow crowd of adoring fans in a swing state he won in 2016. His allies and campaign staff have pulled out all the necessary stops in their efforts to please the spectacle-minded, pageantry-obsessed president.
He’ll be delivering his speech in the affirming glow of his loving followers and loyalists—and in the heart of a Florida city that largely despises him.
