Former President Donald Trump and his running mate, Sen. JD Vance (R-OH), intend to keep busy while the Democratic National Contention (DNC) takes place in Chicago this coming week.

The Trump-Vance campaign released on Sunday a plan to “barnstorm” battleground states and call out the “failed record” of Vice President Kamala Harris, who leads the Democratic Party’s presidential ticket, during a series of events from Monday through Friday.

On Monday, Trump will hold an event focused on the economy and energy in York, Pennsylvania, and Vance will host an event with the same theme in Philadelphia. Tuesday brings events focused on crime and safety, with Trump hosting one in Detroit and Vance holding another in Kenosha, Wisconsin.

Trump and Vance will unite on Wednesday to host a national security event in Asheboro, North Carolina. On Thursday, Trump is slated to host an immigration event in Montezuma Pass, Arizona, and Vance is set to hold a similar event in Valdosta, Georgia. And on Friday, Trump is scheduled to host a rally in Glendale, Arizona at 4 p.m. local time and a “No Tax On Tips” event in Las Vegas.

Their campaign also listed other events taking place in cities across the battleground states with the same themes as the main events of that day. Trump campaign “allies” will hold daily press conferences in Chicago from Monday through Thursday.

“At the DNC, Kamala Harris will hide behind celebrities because everyday families know that she has been an absolute disaster for our nation, and real Americans are worse off now than four years ago,” said Trump Campaign Senior Advisors Chris LaCivita and Susie Wiles in a statement. “Harris has failed to answer media questions for 28 days because she can’t explain away her record of supporting policies that cause inflation, bans on private health insurance, destroying American energy, and higher taxes.”

They added, “As they meet Americans where they are in battleground states across the country, President Trump and Senator Vance will remind voters that under their leadership, we can end inflation, protect our communities from violent criminals, secure the border, and Make America Great Again.”

The DNC takes place Monday through Thursday. President Joe Biden is expected to speak at the convention, as are former Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton, former Secretary of State and failed 2016 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, and former First Lady Michelle Obama. Minnesota Governor Tim Walz is expected to deliver his vice-presidential acceptance speech on Wednesday and Harris will formally accept the presidential nomination and speak on Thursday night.

Daily Wire CEO Jeremy Boreing touted Daily Wire’s upcoming movie “Am I Racist?” as a breakthrough for conservative filmmaking.

Boreing praised the film during the latest episode of Backstage filmed at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville on Wednesday. The episode was released on Thursday, coinciding with the release of pre-sale tickets for the new movie starring Daily Wire host Matt Walsh.

Walsh’s latest film shows the Daily Wire commentator going undercover among members of the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion crowd, including scoring a sitdown interview with author Robin DiAngelo. “Am I Racist?” is Walsh’s second film after “What Is A Woman?” released in 2022.

“The movie is a great successor to ‘What Is A Woman?,’ but it is an evolution. It’s not another, sort of, documentary where Matt, the every-man, goes in and has conversations with these people. It’s really something we haven’t seen before from the right,” Boreing said. “It is a genuine comedy in which you allow these people to be the butt of the joke in a way that we’ve historically only seen from Sacha Baron Cohen, or even John Stewart in sort of the heyday of the Daily Show.”

“You both mock and allow these people to mock themselves in a way that I don’t think we’ve ever seen on the right. It’s a truly special film and a true risk,” Boreing said.

“Am I A Racist?” will open in theaters on September 13. Walsh asked fans to buy tickets to see the movie earlier in order to give it the widest possible reach.

“Preordering tickets is so important – and I know that if you’re like me, I’ve never pre-ordered a movie ticket in my life because, I don’t know, like I get to see one movie every 10 years. I don’t know when that time will come. When it comes. We go. But it’s so important in this case because that determines a lot,” Walsh said.

“It determines how many theaters get to show the movie, and it determines the success of the movie in a big way. And if we want more films like this to make it into theaters, then that’s why we need all of your support,” he continued. “But the thing is we’re not just asking for charity here. I promise that when you go watch the movie, you’re in for a really fun time at the movies as well.”
