Trump rally in Pennsylvania for First time since the attempted assassination
On Wednesday, Donald Trump, the former president, had a rally in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
It was his first appearance in the Keystone State following the July 13 attempted assassination.
As you are aware, I haven’t been back to Pennsylvania since our demonstration in Butler. “We’re returning to Butler as well,” Trump declared at the Farm Show complex.
Trump began to criticize Biden-Harris programs, highlighting public safety and the border.
In contrary, they are poisoning our nation. The largest deportation in American history will start on day one if I’m elected, the former president declared.
In addition, Trump discussed his near-death experience and observed a moment of silence for Corey Comperatore, the man who was shot and killed at the Butler event. The shooting also injured Trump and two other people.
A large number of individuals there on Wednesday had also attended the Butler demonstration. Others were forced to attend due to the awful day.
I’m here to back him and reassure everyone that they won’t scare us away, which is one of my main goals. “Not even a bullet will stop us,” Newville resident Valerie Mansberger remarked.
“I knew I had to come after what happened there with the assassination attempt,” New Haven, Connecticut resident Ryan Morris continued.
The majority of polls indicate that Kamala Harris, the Democratic opponent, and him are still in a close battle going into the visit.
Next week, Harris and her prospective running mate will travel the nation together, an insider told ABC News.
Her first appearance on Tuesday would be in Philadelphia, her campaign said.
Additional locations, according to sources, are Savannah, Georgia; Phoenix, Arizona; Las Vegas, Nevada; Detroit, Michigan; Raleigh, North Carolina; and western Wisconsin.
Six candidates, including Senator Mark Kelly of Arizona and Governor Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania, are reportedly on the shortlist for vice president, according to ABC News.
Harris’ race is questioned by Trump in a NABJ interview.
Trump’s interview with the National Association of Black Journalists began contentiously on Wednesday when he made up a question on Vice President Kamala Harris’ race at the organization’s annual convention in Chicago.
Trump continued to claim that his choice for vice president “does not have any impact” on the outcome of the election throughout the event. Additionally, he declared that protesters who attacked police officers on January 6 would be pardoned “if they’re innocent.”
At the event, Trump was interviewed on stage by Semafor political reporter Kadia Goba, Fox News anchor Harris Faulkner, and ABC News Senior Congressional Correspondent Rachel Scott.
ABC’s Scott posed the first query, focusing on Trump’s prior divisive remarks directed at women of color.
“Sir, let me begin by talking about the big issue. Many people didn’t think it was right that you were here today,” Scott remarked. “You have propagated untrue allegations that certain of your opponents, ranging from Nikki Haley to former President Barack Obama, were not native Americans, an assertion that is untrue. You have advised four congresswomen—women of color and citizens of the United States—to return to their native countries. You have referred to Black district attorneys as “rabbits” and “animals.” You have disparaged Black journalists, labeling them as “losers,” and claiming that the inquiries they make are “racist and stupid.” At your Mar a Lago resort, you had supper with a white nationalist.”
To begin with, I don’t believe I have ever been questioned. So, first question in such an awful way. Not even a hello is exchanged. You are who you are? Do you work for ABC? Since I believe that they are a phony news network. awful network,” Trump said at the outset.
Following up, ABC’s Scott asked him to address her query, to which Trump replied, “I have addressed the query. Since Abraham Lincoln, I have been the most beneficial president for the Black community.”
The former president continued to make fun of Harris, and when questioned about Republican remarks that she is a “DEI” hiring, Trump sidestepped the question by repeatedly asking the journalist to define DEI.
It seems that Trump was also doubting Harris’ race.
“She turned Black a few years ago, and now that she’s Black, that’s when I found out that she was Black. Thus, I’m not sure if she’s Black or Indian.” stated Trump.
Harris is the child of an Indian mother and a Jamaican father.
