Yesterday saw a tale of two campaigns as both Donald Trump and Kamala Harris made appearances in Texas. Many Texans wondered if Hell had frozen over. It’s been a very long time since a presidential candidate has appeared in the Lone Star State this late into the campaign season. To have both there on the same day. . . Well, you can forgive Texans for waiting for the other shoe to drop.
To say the two appearances were textbook cases of opposites is putting it mildly. Trump visited Austin, in what KVUE, an ABC affiliate, billed as a “mini-rally”. For approximately an hour, Trump focused primarily on illegal immigration, a topic of great concern in border states like Texas. But this wasn’t your typical Trump rally. There was no open air gathering of thousasnds. Instead, this “mini-rally” took place inside a private hanger without all the bells and whistles.
Of course, it could be there were no more bells and whistles left in Texas, or just about anywhere else, because they’d been grabbed up by Harris and her campaign in preparation for her appearance in Houston last night.
