Saw a journalist from a conservative rag (which i cannot remember)

who talked to Trump today by phone. She was at the rally where he got shot with her photojournalist daughter. She spoke glowingly of the upper Midwest States. This was on Abby Phillips show on CNN. The woman went on like how they are not okay but will be soon. I thought BINGO Trump is going to focus his election on those three battleground states and try and move others out of the Blue column. She was softening them up for the love bombing which is coming next from Trump and MAGA. "You are not well but we love you.. Don't think. Vote red". Gaslighting to the extreme.

I saw some of that interview on CNN where the reporter claims Trump's going to focus on unity. Of course his idea of unity is for all the swing states to unify to support him and the Repubs.
