With less than two weeks until Election Day, the Trump team sends its final pitch to voters: Vice President Harris “broke it” and former President Trump “will fix it,” officials told Fox News Digital as they planned their final push.
Speaking about former President Trump’s strategy for rallying supporters to the polls on November 5 or earlier, focusing mainly on the economy and the southern border situation, Trump campaign senior advisor Tim Murtaugh said, “Kamala Harris for the last four years has wrecked the economy and the border. Donald Trump will fix both of them.”
Murtaugh said, “The beauty of this election cycle is that everybody who is going to vote has lived through the Trump years and the Harris years.”
“They have experienced both administrations. When Trump was president, the economy was fantastic, inflation was nonexistent, the border was secure, and the world was at peace.
“By contrast, under Harris’ leadership, the economy is in shambles, inflation is still sky-high, our border has been erased, and the world, at large, is on fire,” Murtaugh said.
Trump has relentlessly hammered home that message stop after stop as he crisscrosses the country campaigning in the final weeks of the cycle, which his campaign believes has given him an advantage over the vice president, who has largely shifted her message to attack the former president.

“Trump is talking about solving problems for Americans while Kamala Harris is focused exclusively on attacking him,” a campaign official said.
Vice President Kamala Harris on Tuesday accused Trump of seeking “unchecked power” and being “unhinged and unstable.”
But the Trump campaign said the former president is “asking people to vote for something, while she is asking for people to vote against something.”
“He is selling optimism and positive messages to fix the problems she and President Biden created,” a campaign official said.
According to the most recent Wall Street Journal survey, Trump leads Harris by two points countrywide. According to the WSJ study, Trump has 47% support among potential voters overall, while Harris has 45%. The ballot also includes third-party and independent candidates.
That is a departure from the Journal’s latest national survey, conducted in late August, which showed Harris with a two-point advantage.
According to the survey, Harris’ positive rating has dropped eight points since August, while her approval rating as vice president is 42%-54%. Meanwhile, Americans’ views of Trump have improved, with a 52%-48% approval rating for his previous work in the White House.
The most recent Fox News poll puts Trump ahead of Harris by 50% to 48% nationally.
“Donald Trump is leading all the battleground states, and the momentum and polling averages continue to move in his direction,” Murtaugh said, citing national trends.
Campaign executives cited commercials run in the battleground states of Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin by vulnerable incumbent Democrats looking to distance themselves from Harris.
Sen. Bob Casey, D-Pa., is launching an ad in the Keystone State emphasizing how he “bucked Biden” and “sided with” Trump, while portraying the Democrat senator as “independent.” The advertisement portrays a Republican woman and her Democrat husband but does not name Harris.
Similar advertisements featuring Trump are airing in Wisconsin for Sen. Tammy Baldwin and in Michigan for Rep. Elissa Slotkin, who is running for Senate.
“Democrat Senate candidates are spending Democrat donor money promoting Donald Trump in the Blue Wall battleground states,” an official said.
In addition, the most recent USA Today/Suffolk University survey saw Trump winning by a significant margin among a critical demographic: Latino voters. Trump leads Harris by 11 percentage points in that important vote bloc.
“But the polls are only theoretical election results and polls don’t win races. Actual votes win elections, and that’s why we’re continuing to accelerate. And we’ll run through the tape on Election Day,” Murtaugh added.
The Trump campaign said it is confident they have the “momentum.”
“President Trump will be relentless and tireless. He’ll be barnstorming the country — rinse and repeat — over and over and over again until Election Day,” another official said.
On Tuesday, Trump attended rallies in battleground Georgia with Robert F. Kennedy Jr., former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson, country music singer Jason Aldean, and former NCAA athlete Riley Gaines.
