Today in Tucson, Arizona, all eyes are on Donald Trump as he is expected to address a crowd and deliver a message that resonates with voters in the state. At the recent debates, Trump emphasized the issue of immigration repeatedly, a topic that holds significant importance in Arizona.
A recent poll indicated that Trump leads by 17 points over his opponent on the matter of immigration. His campaign and supporters have been actively airing ads focusing on migrant crime issues and criticizing his opponent's stance on border control and actions taken under the current administration.
While Republicans have been matching Democrats in ad spending in Arizona, they are not keeping up with the Democratic spending levels. Democrats are set to spend around $35 million on the presidential race in the state over the next two months, compared to the $22 million reserved by Republicans for airtime.
Interestingly, Republicans are diverting their resources to Pennsylvania, where they have launched ads targeting their opponent's past position on fracking. The ads aim to highlight the potential negative impact of a federal ban on fracking, contrasting it with the stance taken by the opponent in 2020.
Trump's campaign strategy includes contrasting his opponent's past positions, with the fracking issue being a key focus. However, at the recent debate, Trump missed several opportunities to capitalize on these contrasts. It remains to be seen if he will seize those chances during his speech in Arizona today.
