Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump looked to recapture attention — and momentum — in his race against Vice President Kamala Harris on Thursday, dangling a series of debates and fielding questions for over an hour from reporters at his Mar-a-Lago resort.
The effort by Trump to reclaim the spotlight comes after recent weeks dramatically reshaped a presidential race that the former president had previously been leading. Democrats have been invigorated by President Joe Biden’s decision to step aside, and polls show a surge of support for Harris and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, her running mate unveiled earlier this week.
