But after Trump’s speech at the Republican National Convention this week included no mention of the police shooting of Jacob Blake that spurred demonstrations in her hometown of Kenosha, Wisconsin, the white retired public relations specialist said the president still had work to do before she’ll commit to voting for him again in November.“He simply ignored it,” said Newell, 71, a reliable Republican voter who has also been put off by aspects of Trump’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic but approves of his stewardship of the economy. He’s trying to stop bleeding with seniors and independent voters.”The convention programming included fiery speeches by the president’s personal attorney Rudy Giuliani warning of greater chaos in the streets should Biden win, endorsements from law enforcement officials and an emotional address from the widow of a retired St. Louis police officer who was killed this summer while helping a friend whose shop had been broken into during the unrest that was affecting many cities.Trump barely addressed broader issues of police brutality and racial injustice during a speech Thursday that spanned more than an hour, saying simply, “We will ensure equal justice for citizens of every race, religion, color and creed.” “This whole dynamic is incredibly complicated at this point,” said David Winston, a strategist who works closely with congressional Republicans.
