The Washington Post has released an expansive new deep-dive that takes a close look into Donald Trump’s flailing 2024 presidential campaign as Kamala Harris trailblazes her way to the top of the Democratic ticket in place of sitting President Joe Biden, leaving the ex-president struggling to regain his footing and lashing out at the hands that are trying to feed him behind closed doors.
WaPo points out early on that Donald Trump’s legal future is murky, at best, if he’s not successful in returning to the White House in the coming months and cloaking himself in all the protections that the position has to offer. According to the report, now that the Democrats have essentially swapped Joe Biden out for a much younger, healthier, and fierce Kamala Harris, Trump is privately complaining that “it’s unfair” and his mood has only soured further now that Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has been added to the Harris ticket.
The Post goes on to report that, according to insiders, Trump is heavily lashing out at his own campaign staff behind closed doors, specifically over Harris’ record-breaking fundraising hauls and her massively attended, boisterous campaign rallies — both of which are dwarfing the former president.
According to the publication, the massive turnout for Harris and Walz in Philadelphia, Wisconsin, and Michigan over the past few days has severely gotten under Trump’s skin, driving the former president’s rage to new heights and potentially setting the scene for a Trump campaign shake-up.

“Trump has begun asking friends and allies how his campaign staff is doing — a question that some say could lead to staff changes, though the former president has not said he is planning that and has expressed support for campaign aides in recent days, a person close to him said,” Josh Dawsey and Michael Scherer write for WaPo. “He has asked why Harris is raising so much more money than him, people familiar with the comments say. Trump has also repeatedly raised the large crowds that Harris is getting compared with Biden, people who have spoken to him said.”
The report goes on to add, “A Tuesday afternoon post from Trump on his Truth Social media site — which included a number of nicknames, falsehoods, and baseless accusations — suggested he was still steaming.”
