Former President Donald Trump is expected to hit the campaign trail “almost every single day” in the month before Nov. 5 — doing rallies, small speaking engagements, interviews and retail stops, a person familiar with his schedule told The Post.
“We’re going to be on the road almost every single day between now and Nov. 5,” the Trump campaign rep said.
Trump, 78, will put particular emphasis on the seven critical swing states of Arizona, Nevada, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Georgia and North Carolina.
He is also expected to appear in events in Florida, New York and New Jersey — where he has property and will therefore already be spending time.
The schedule will include “multiple rallies a week” and smaller “messaging events” that are hyper-focused on policy.
There will also be voter-led townhalls and retail stops in which Trump will speak directly to voters, which do particularly well for driving engagement, the source went on.
The clips of Trump talking to voters — such as when he visited a New York City bodega and a Georgia Chick-fil-A — “go so viral on socials” that the campaign sees it as a good way of driving engagement and earned media, the source added.
For interviews, the source said Trump will continue to do cable and radio hits, interviews with local outlets and “some alternative media,” like podcasts.
Trump will kick off the 30-day blitz by returning to the site of the first assassination attempt on his life, doing a massive rally in Butler, Pa.
The former president also has an Oct. 6 rally planned in Wisconsin, an Oct. 7 Israel remembrance event in Miami and an Oct. 10 address to the Detroit Economic Club.
On Oct. 17, he’s expected to attend the Al Smith charity dinner in the Big Apple.
The 30-day pre-election sprint is the last opportunity for Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris, 59, to make headway with voters as polling continues to show the two candidates neck-and-neck nationally and in the battleground states.
The two 2024 candidates are separated by less than 2% in each of the seven critical battleground states, according to RealClearPolitics’ average.
Harris is deploying former President Barack Obama to stump for her in the swing states. The first stop of his campaign blitz will be in Pittsburgh on Oct. 10.
