Kamala Harris dunks on Donald Trump after he disappears from the campaign trail

Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

Donald Trump is coming off one of the worst two week stretches that a presidential nominee has ever had, and now his schedule for this week is… empty. Aside from a Friday appearance in Montana of all places, Trump has nothing on his schedule. Nothing from Monday to Thursday. No swing state appearances at all.

The Kamala Harris campaign is calling this out and referring to Donald Trump as “low energy” – a term that Trump has previously thrown at past competitors. Trump is old and has clearly lost a step, and struggles cognitively when he does periodically try giving a speech.

In contrast, Kamala Harris is holding events in six swing states over the next five days, as she continues to hit the ground running and barnstorm the nation. And now Harris is about to announce her running mate, which should give her even more momentum.
