Trump and Harris campaigns seek to turn crises to their advantage
Hindustan TimesA series of domestic and international crises a month before the US presidential election have shaken up an already fiery campaign, as the rival camps scramble to contain or exploit them to their advantage. Trump and Harris campaigns seek to turn crises to their advantage Soaring tensions in the Middle East; a deadly hurricane on US soil; and a historic strike by American dockworkers: Vice President Kamala Harris and Republican candidate Donald Trump have plenty to get their teeth into. With Iran firing around 180 missiles at Israel, Trump on Tuesday placed the blame for a rapidly escalating conflict wholly at the feet of Harris and Democratic US President Joe Biden. "We're not talking about politics now," Trump said, even as he wore his presidential campaign's emblematic "Make America Great Again" red cap while speaking to reporters at the disaster site. "Americans who thrived under President Trump can't even get by because of Kamala Harris this strike is a direct result of her actions," Trump said on Tuesday, as he sought to turn the crisis to his advantage.
