Supporters of former President Donald Trump will host a press conference on Monday in Chicago, the same city and day the Democratic National Convention kicks off.
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 & Tower Chicago. The two 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,” read the announcement for Monday’s press conference.
“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,” read the release. “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,” noted the release. “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 directly challenge the Harris-Walz campaign, Democrats, and the Democratic National Convention. It will begin at 12:30 p.m. EST before the DNC officially starts at 6:30 p.m. President Joe Biden is scheduled to speak on Monday, giving the day’s keynote address.
