Former President Donald Trump hosted a press conference at Trump Tower in New York City on Friday, September 6, following a court appearance where his lawyers appealed a $5 million verdict for sexual abuse and defamation in the E. Jean Carroll case. Trump criticized the verdict, calling it a 'ridiculous' and 'fabricated' story. This event precedes a busy week for Trump, including a presidential debate against Vice President Kamala Harris and a high-ticket fundraiser in Los Angeles. The Harris campaign, which has raised $361 million in August, is preparing privately for the debate. Additionally, Trump's running mate, JD Vance, has been actively campaigning in California. The divergent campaign styles of Trump and Harris highlight their contrasting approaches to the election.
