Tamara Keith, Stephen Fowler, Mara Liasson: 特朗普的新闻发布会是其寻求关注的策略，旨在转移人们对民主党候选人日益增长的关注和支持的注意力。特朗普的竞选策略没有针对哈里斯的有效攻击点，并且他对民调结果的反应令人费解。哈里斯竞选团队故意利用集会规模来攻击特朗普，这影响了特朗普的信心。在特朗普举行新闻发布会之前，他的竞选活动主要由他的竞选搭档J.D. Vance主导，Vance的竞选活动比特朗普更有效地攻击了民主党。特朗普同意参加与哈里斯的辩论，这出乎意料，哈里斯需要更多地与媒体互动来为辩论做准备，并阐明她的政策立场。沃尔兹被选为哈里斯的竞选搭档是因为他不会对竞选造成损害，并且具有中西部地区普通人的形象，他的政治立场为共和党提供了攻击的靶子。两党都希望在接下来的竞选活动中侧重于政策问题。 特朗普: 认为哈里斯不够聪明，无法举行新闻发布会；将自己集会的规模与马丁·路德·金的“我有一个梦想”演讲的规模进行比较。 哈里斯: (通过间接引用) 哈里斯竞选团队利用视频截图来突出特朗普集会出席人数少，激怒了特朗普。哈里斯在特朗普的新闻发布会后回答了记者的提问，但缺乏与媒体互动和进行深入采访。 J.D. Vance: (通过间接引用) Vance的竞选活动比特朗普更有效地攻击了民主党。 Tim Walz: (通过间接引用) 沃尔兹被选为哈里斯的竞选搭档，共和党人私下里对沃尔兹的选择感到高兴，因为他们认为他更容易击败。
