Trump-Vance campaign to challenge Harris and DNC with press conference in Chicago

Supporters of former President Donald Trump will host a press conference on Monday in Chicago , the same city and day the Democratic National Convention begins.

Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) and Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) will offer a scathing rebuke of Vice President Kamala Harris’s political record from Trump International Hotel and Tower Chicago. The senators will speak about Harris’s “failed record as vice president and dangerously liberal agenda,” according to a press release distributed by the Trump-Vance campaign.

“Team Trump Refutes Lyin’ Kamala at the DNC ft. Senators Ron Johnson and Rick Scott,” the announcement for Monday’s press conference said.

“Not only does Kamala Harris own the disastrous reckless spending of Joe Biden, but her actions have directly translated to higher prices for consumers across the country,” the release added. “Harris was the tiebreaking vote in the Senate for the so-called ‘Inflation Reduction Act’ that fueled inflation and led to billions of dollars in tax hikes that increased household costs for all Americans.”

“The result? Americans are experiencing higher prices everywhere from the grocery store to the gas pump,” the release noted. “Prices have risen by 20.2 percent since Harris and Biden took office — with Americans still reeling from the lasting effects of inflation. Groceries are up 21.6 percent , rent is up 22 percent , and electricity is up 31.7 percent since January 2021.”

The Trump campaign’s event on Monday will challenge the Harris-Walz campaign, Democrats, and the Democratic National Convention. It will begin at 12:30 p.m. Eastern time, before the DNC starts at 6:30 p.m . President Joe Biden is scheduled to speak on Monday , giving the day’s keynote address.
