Trump expected to turn his full focus on Harris at first rally since Biden's exit from 2024 race

Donald Trump is holding his first public campaign rally since President Joe Biden dropped out of a 2024 matchup that both major parties had spent months preparing for, leaving the former president to direct his ire toward his likely new opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris. Trump is expected to turn his full focus on Harris as he stops Wednesday in North Carolina. The former president’s trip to the swing state shows he’s concerned about keeping it in his win column this November, even as his team reaches for wins in traditionally Democratic-leaning states like Minnesota, where Trump is set to visit Saturday. Trump has ramped up his criticism of the vice president, whom he’s characterized as “the same as Biden but much more radical.”
