After DNC, Donald Trump works overtime to define Kamala Harris – and defend himself

WASHINGTON - The Democratic convention is over, and so is Donald Trump's counter-convention tour - but the former Republican president's struggle to keep up with Democratic nominee Kamala Harris goes on.

During a week-long tour of battleground states , it became clear that Trump must continue trying to define Harris, defend himself against mockery from Democrats, and deal with the fact that the incumbent vice president is pulling higher poll numbers than President Joe Biden did before his exit last month from the 2024 White House race.

Friday marked Trump's latest attempt to swing back.

On social media, the GOP presidential nominee tried to defuse the abortion issue by proclaiming that his administration "will be great for women and their reproductive rights." His comment drew even more mockery from Democrats who recounted how Trump's three appointees to the Supreme Court helped overturn Roe v. Wade and also pointed out that a large part of his political base wants to ban abortions.

As Trump conducted week-ending events in Nevada and Arizona, he also welcomed an endorsement from Robert F. Kennedy, Jr , an independent who announced he'd be suspending his own run for president.

Now comes the post-convention phase of the campaign, one that figures to last at least until the first Trump-Harris debate , scheduled for Sept. 10 less than a mile away from the historic Independence Hall in Philadelphia.

In the meantime, Trump's to-do list includes:

Making up ground

Trump campaign officials expected Harris' poll numbers to rise in the wake of the Democratic convention. Now they will try to close the margin in the weeks ahead by playing up what Trump calls her "radical" record.

How best to do that is a dispute even within the Trump campaign, a subject the candidate has brought up in public.

Throughout his post-convention tour, Trump did cite inflation, immigration, wars in other countries, and the overall economy as big issues in the campaign against Harris; he has also kept up some of the most strident attacks ever made by a major party candidate, routinely labeling Harris as a "communist" and a "Marxist," language reminiscent of "Red Scares" of the past.

Make it personal? Policy? Both?

Some Republicans fear that Trump's stridency is turning off swing voters; Trump himself seems unsure.

The former president has spoken about the intra-party dispute over how to approach Harris and running mate Tim Walz .

During an event Wednesday in Asheboro, N.C., Trump said people often advise him to be nicer - “'please, sir, don’t get personal; talk about policy'" - and he asked the crowd of supporters two questions: "Should I get personal? Should I not get personal?"

The crowd responded overwhelmingly in favor of "personal."

After joking that "my advisers are fired," Trump then told supporters: "No, we’d rather keep it on policy. But sometimes it’s hard when you’re attacked from all ends."

Fence-mending

Moving past the Democratic convention, Trump is also trying to mend relations with some of the Republicans he has fought with over the years, particular Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp .

During a recent rally in Atlanta, Trump attacked Kemp at length (again) for refusing to back up his protests of Biden's win in Georgia in the 2020 election. Many Republican questioned Trump's agitation, given the fact that Kemp supervises an effective get-out-the-vote operation in a a closely contested state.

On Thursday, just minutes before Harris' acceptance speech at the convention in Chicago, Trump reached out to the Georgia governor via Truth Social: "Thank you to #BrianKempGA for all of your help and support in Georgia, where a win is so important to the success of our Party and, most importantly, our Country. I look forward to working with you, your team, and all of my friends in Georgia to help MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!"

Trump later said he commented after watching a positive Kemp interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity. Trump also made up with Kennedy, a former opponent he has also described as radical. During a Las Vegas event for his "no tax on tips policy," Trump thanked Kennedy for "a very nice endorsement."

Playing defense

Trump also spent Democratic convention week playing defense, and that doesn't figure to stop anytime soon.

In Chicago, Harris and other Democrats repeatedly hit the Republican nominee over efforts to overthrow the 2020 election, his hush money trial conviction , the sexual abuse judgements against him, his threats to use the power of government to investigate political opponents, and conservative plans to cut essential services and restrict abortion rights.

“In many ways, Donald Trump is an unserious man," Harris said in her acceptance speech . "But the consequences of putting Donald Trump back in the White House are extremely serious."

Trump, who live-tweeted his reactions to Harris in real time, posted at one point: "IS SHE TALKING ABOUT ME?"

The former president also found time this week to push back on an allegation lobbed at both him and running mate JD Vance: That they are "weird."

In kicking off his counter-convention tour in York, Pa., Trump referred to Biden and said: "You know, he said, we’re weird ... that JD and I are weird. I think we’re extremely normal people, like you, exactly like ... He’s weird."

Trump did express particular concern about one issue: Abortion rights.

As his tour wrapped up Friday, Trump posted a cryptic comment on Truth Social saying: "My Administration will be great for women and their reproductive rights."

Democrats quickly pointed out that, when he was president, Trump nominated three of the Supreme Court justices who voted to reverse the Roe v Wade abortion rights ruling . Trump has said that states should decide abortion policy, expressing implicit support for new laws that ban the procedure after six weeks of pregnancy.

"Donald Trump waged war on women’s reproductive freedom," said Ammar Moussa, rapid response director for the Harris campaign. "Now he’s trying to run away from his record. It won’t work."

Well before the Republican and Democratic conventions, Trump often mentioned the political risks for Republicans over abortion - and that's not going away during the last two-and-a-half months of the campaign.

Get ready to protest 2024 election

Democrats in Chicago also expressed concern that Trump would contest the vote if he loses in November, as happened four years ago when his protests led to the insurrection of Jan. 6, 2021.

In television interviews, Trump said he would not protest the election if it is "free and fair." Four years ago, numerous officials told him the election was fair, but he pushed lawsuits and pressured lawmakers to change the outcome anyway.

"I think if I lose, this country will go into a tailspin, the likes of which it's never seen before - the likes of 1929 - but if I do, and it's free and fair, absolutely, I will accept the results," Trump told CBS News.

Trump said he believes there "many problems" in the 2020 election, but added: "I think things have been done over the last four-year period that will make this a free and fair election."

Myron Avant (born 26 April 1978) – aka Avant – is a singer/songwriter from Cleveland, Ohio, US that is well regarded for his work in the R&B genre.

Avant began singing at the age of five and would later attend Cleveland School of Arts to study music. One of Avant’s biggest influences is R. Kelly, which is clearly conveyed through Avant’s smooth delivery of his music. Avant’s rich, soulful music quickly caught the ear of Magic Johnson, who had just started his own record label. Avant was the first artist that Johnson had signed to his label. Johnson’s label was called Magic Johnson Music when he signed a joint venture with MCA and the label would soon release Avant’s first album.

In 2000 Avant released his debut album “My Thoughts”, which was received with critical and commercial success. The album reached the No. 45 spot on the Billboard 200 chart and the No. 8 spot on the R&B charts. The album also contained three top 10 singes, which included “Separated”, “This Time”, and a cover of Rene & Angela’s hit “My First Love”. In 2002 Avant released his second studio album “Ecstasy”, which also received commercial success. The album reached the No. 6 spot on the Billboard 200 chart and the No. 2 spot on the R&B charts. The album also contained the singles “Makin’ Good Love”, “Don’t Say No, Just Say Yes”, and “You Ain’t Right”.

In 2003 Avant released the album “Private Room”, which contained the singles “Read Your Mind”, “Don’t Take Your Love Away”, and “Wanna Be Close”. Like the previous albums “Private Room” also did well on the Billboard charts. The song “Read Your Mind” was remixed for a promo vinyl and contained Snoop Dogg on the track. The song “Seems to Be” featured a guest appearance by R&B singer Olivia, who is also known for contributing to 50 Cent’s song “Candy Shop”.

In 2006 Avant’s album “Director” reached the No. 1 spot on Billboard’s Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart and the No. 4 position on the Billboard 200 chart. The album contained the singles “You Know What”, “4 Minutes”, and “Lie About Us”. The album showed Avant collaborating with artists such as The Pussycat Dolls and Jermaine Dupri. Avant released his sixth studio album “The Letter” in 2010. The album marked Avant’s first release with his new label, Verve Forecast Records. The album contained the singles “Kiss Goodbye”, “Your Body is the Business”, and “Graduated”.

Avant released his album “Face The Music” in 2013, which featured the singles “More” and “You & I”. The single “You & I” featured the R&B singer Keke Wyatt. Apart from releasing his solo material Avant has made several guest appearances on records by notable artists such as The Isley Brothers, Bone Thugs-n-Harmony, Lloyd Banks, and Diddy.

Live reviews

Avant - that’s his surname, by the way, having been born Myron Avant in Cleveland, Ohio back in 1978 - is an R&B singer who has long claimed that R. Kelly is his biggest single influence; let’s hope, for his sake, he’s referring to Kelly’s impressive musical career in terms of his success rather than the ‘Ignition’ man’s dubious private life. Either way, there’s no question that over the course of his fifteen year career to date, Avant himself has also enjoyed a great deal of success of his own; his debut album, My Thoughts, went platinum in his native U.S., helped on in no small part by lead single ‘Separated’ and the remix of it, the latter version featuring Kelly Rowland of Destiny’s Child and going on to prove a chart smash on an international level As well as making sporadic film appearances, Avant has continued to make new records, with his latest, Face the Music, just about managing to crack the U.S. top forty when he dropped it last year; he toured his home nation with a full band that same year, proving that his cult fanbase are as keen as ever on his impossibly smooth R&B stylings; he’s been one of the genre’s leading lights for the past decade or so.

Report as inappropriate

Myron Avant, known simply on the circuit by his surname, is a singer, songwriter and performer from Cleveland, Ohio who's career is enjoying a reboot of sorts. After achieving early commercial success, his latest album charted well in the States and has given the musician a renewed confidence as he steps out onto stage.

There are loyal fans here tonight who cheer enthusiastically for every track played yet it is great to see similar reaction for the new stuff lifted from 'Face The Music' as the older hits including 'My First Love'. The artist thanks the crowds for the energy and love whilst explaining that it is mainly for them that he continues to tour around. This of course receives a huge roar of approval before he closes on the biggest track of his career thus far 'Separated' and the smooth 'Read Your Mind'. A great night of R & B proving that sometimes the old stuff really is the best.

Avant. Is outstanding his music is fire We look forward to his endeavors with the music industry.Keep just being Great.You have came along ways your writing is phenomenal With every song there is definitely a message that has changed many lives.We sincerely hope you be around for a long time.

The show was cancelled without warning. This was supposed to have been an awsome nite for my wifey cause of her birthday. I have no words right now.i was disappointed we paid to see him and others at Mableton House Theatre and wowwwwwww disappointed no one showed.OMG WTF

Avant was good, but the rest of the line up, except for Troop, wasn't any good. The cause for the children was excellent however. I do appreciate what they are doing for our youth and I'm glad the proceeds are going for a good cause.

OMG! I had an amazing time with this man. He sounded great and looked very handsome. He sounded just like on the radio but better. I cant wait to see him again the only problem was he didn't have enough time to do his thing!

Avant was really enjoyable connected with the crowd and kept you engaged and on our feet the whole time he was on stage. Took you back with some of his old songs. I would definitely go see him again.

I seen Avant,112 and Jagged Edge in concert May 11,2019 in Mableton ga ...Avant sounded like his albums....I hope one day i can actually talk to him and meet him cause he seem like a good dude!

Avant was amazing in PHILLY he sang a lot of his hits an he could have gone on forever, it was our pleasure having you, Please Please come see us again SOON.
