In interview after interview, Mr. Trump's supporters expressed a kind of cocky equanimity about the state of things, nurtured by the man for whom they plan to vote. It appeared to be contributing to a creeping sense they have that, if this race does not go their way in November, it will have been another stolen election.
It didn't much matter to them that Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate, Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota, had a big rally or that Mr. Trump's lead in polls and fundraising edge vanished. Trump supporters showed a dismissive attitude towards mainstream media and entertainment industry narratives.
Some expressed not believing what they see on TV and remained unconcerned about apparent shifts and media buzz. Analogies were drawn likening the current situation to the early stage of dating, implying a cautious wait-and-see approach for the future.
