Republicans urging Donald Trump to stop hurling personal insults at Vice President Kamala Harris have a considerable campaign adversary undermining their best efforts: Vice President Kamala Harris.
That's the analysis from the New York Times reporter who revealed Tuesday morning the Harris campaign is about to make a move seemingly designed to infuriate the Republican presidential nominee.
Harris Tuesday night will hold a rally at the Milwaukee arena where Trump accepted his party's nomination just last month, the Times reported.

"Ms. Harris’s choice of venue is the latest in a series of aggressive moves that seem designed to get under Mr. Trump’s notoriously thin skin," the Times reported. "Crowd size is one of the former president’s most reliable bugbears."
The venue will likely "needle" a crowd-size obsessed Trump who believes the large rallies of his 2016 presidential campaign foretold his victory over former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, the New York Times reported.
Should Harris fill the 18,000-seat Fiserv Forum in the heart of battleground state Wisconsin's most populous city, she could trigger the former president into repeating controversial claims that artificial intelligence is behind reports of her crows size, according to the analysis.

Neither Harris' nor Trump's campaigns provided the Times with a comment, but Rep. Brendan Boyle (D-PA) suggested Trump was likely to lash out.
“Trump is perhaps the most thin-skinned person ever to run for president,” Boyle told the Times. “So he’s fairly easy to bait and knock off message.”
The former president meanwhile will campaign Tuesday in Howell, a Michigan town with a long history of extremism and ties to the Ku Klux Klan, where last month white supremacists reportedly rallied and chanted “We love Hitler. We love Trump.”
