Tropical Storm Debby has forced the postponement of a stop in another swing state, Georgia, and according to media reports also North Carolina.<\/p>\n<p>Pennsylvania is part of the \u201cblue wall\u201d that carried Biden to the White House in 2020, alongside Michigan and Wisconsin. That was one of the main reasons many expected Harris to instead pick that state\u2019s governor, Josh Shapiro.<\/p>\n<p>Also on the vice presidential shortlist had been former astronaut and current senator Mark Kelly, of Arizona, and Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear.<\/p>\n<p>Trump was riding high politically last month after surviving an assassination attempt at a rally, and then using the Republican convention to highlight his image of vigor against the physically frail Biden.<\/p>\n<p>But with Biden\u2019s dramatic exit and Harris\u2019s fast start, he is scrambling to recalibrate.<\/p>\n<p>At a rally last Saturday in Georgia, Trump called Harris a \u201cMarxist\u201d and a \u201cradical left freak,\u201d claiming she would cause an \u201ceconomic crash.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Three days earlier, he shocked many when he told an audience of Black journalists that Harris had \u201cturned Black\u201d out of political expediency.<\/p>\n<p>Where Biden often attacked Trump as a threat to democracy, given his unprecedented refusal to accept his loss in 2020, Harris\u2019s team has honed a sharper \u2014 more meme-friendly \u2014 line built around branding Trump and his vice presidential pick J.D. Vance \u201cweird.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On Saturday, the Harris campaign said Trump was \u201cscared\u201d to debate her after he turned down a previously scheduled televised debate on ABC, while saying he\u2019d be ready to debate her on Fox News \u2014 a network that has for years given him support.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Walz had been on a shortlist with a string of
