Trump has begun to edge away from the huge rallies that he seems to relish as president and that helped him win election in 2016 .
He has no rallies on his public schedule. Campaign press secretary Kayleigh McEnany told Fox Business on Wednesday that the re-election effort was “taking it day by day. We are currently proceeding as normal.”
But since then, Trump has canceled a trip to Las Vegas to attend the Republican Jewish Coalition and postponed a Catholics for Trump event in Milwaukee, which was scheduled to be in a setting that holds more than 3,000 people.
“It’s going to be a very different actual experience from the more typical, follow-the-script organizing,” said Matt Compton, director of advocacy and engagement at the Democratic digital strategy firm Blue State Digital. “You’re not talking to people who are living their normal lives. You’re talking to voters who are going to be anxious.”
(Disclaimer: Michael Bloomberg, the founder and majority owner of Bloomberg LP, also sought the Democratic presidential nomination. He endorsed Joe Biden on March 4.)
