the Trump and Harris campaigns are differentiating themselves with another aspect their moods in his first speech as her running mate Minnesota Governor Tim Walls turned to vice president Kamala Harris and said thank you for bringing back the joy former president Donald Trump on the other hand has said I think that our country is right now in the most dangerous position it’s ever been in Democrats are playing up their optimistic Outlook while Republicans dismissed the idea that an upbeat attitude will decide the presidency President Joe Biden often used his now shuttered re-election bid to Brand Trump as an existential threat to democracy the Harris campaign continues to use that strategy project 2025 is a plan to return America to a dark past but Harris has also said that she could help make politics fun again Trump supporters feel that his campaign is positive even if his message often isn’t the Trump campaign is very joyful there’s a lot more uh positive energy and joy for picking Donald Trump to be the next president
