Trump's top advisers strive to form an effective strategy against Harris.

The presidential candidate for the Republican Party, Donald Trump, expressed confidence in the leadership of his campaign and does not currently expect any personnel changes, but senior advisers find themselves in the most vulnerable position, trying to form an effective strategy against the Democratic candidate Kamala Harris.

This was reported by The Guardian.

Last month, starting with the exit of Democratic President Joe Biden from the race and the appearance of Harris on the electoral scene, who gained significant support, became the most unstable moment for Trump's campaign since its official launch at the end of 2022.

During this period, Trump often made one mistake after another, trying to formulate arguments against Harris, wanted to 'break through' the news cycle that fueled Democratic enthusiasm, but suddenly found himself on the defensive with a narrow window for maneuvering until November.

The sudden difficulties faced by Trump's campaign staff in trying to suppress the momentum of Harris' campaign led allies of the Republican to openly criticize decisions made by senior assistants of his staff for the first Time and privately question whether some advisors should remain in their positions.

The past month has been unsuccessful for Trump's campaign, and advisers perceive these challenges - from real or imaginary enemies, as serious threats or shortcomings that require time and effort to address.

According to Trump's spokesperson, former US president, he believes that the leaders of his campaign, Susie Wiles and Chris Lacivita, are doing a phenomenal job, and any rumors to the contrary are untrue and unfounded.

However, concerns are mostly related to Trump's recent meeting on August 2 with Lara Trump, his daughter-in-law, whom he appointed head of the Republican National Convention, and Kellyanne Conway, who ran his 2016 presidential campaign.

According to Conway, the meeting focused on the election strategy, and she told Trump that he defeated a female candidate in 2016 and can do it again in November 2024. During the conversation with Trump, she did not mention any names or positions of senior campaign advisors.

But the meeting sparked internal disputes within the Republican team: senior advisors saw it as an intrusion into their territory.

Concerns somewhat diminished after senior aides became confident that Conway was unlikely to join Trump's team, at least for now, as the Republican cast doubt on her lobbying for Ukraine support and the 2023 proposal to approve a federal ban on abortions at 15 weeks.

Summer months - time for change

Summer months have traditionally been a time when Trump changed his campaign managers in 2016 and 2020.

Concerns about 'palace intrigues' arose against the backdrop of Trump's campaign continuing to struggle with successive 'attacks' on Harris and her running mate Tim Waltz. The Republican's campaign focuses on the idea that the elections will be decided by the same issues as in the case of Biden: the crisis at the southern border of the United States, crime, and inflation, which has led to a rise in the cost of living.

Trump's campaign advisors and his external allies agree that the Republican needs to criticize Harris in the political spectrum, but carrying out this task has often been unsuccessful.

During the meeting, Conway told Trump that he should stick to political issues and not resort to personal insults. However, upon learning about this advice from Conway, some Trump campaign staff members were outraged, stating that they advised the same.
