Trump attempts to focus on economy in North Carolina speech

Former President Trump on Wednesday tried to narrow his focus to the economy during a speech in North Carolina, blasting Vice President Harris over higher prices and Americans’ financial struggles amid pressure to recalibrate his campaign approach.

Trump delivered remarks to supporters in Asheville that he acknowledged were intended to specifically be about the economy. But the speech mostly resembled his typical rally remarks. He attacked Harris over her laugh and her intelligence, and he went on his usual extended riffs about immigration, making baseless claims that some migrants entering the country are “taking the place of our young children.”
