Former president and Republican candidate for the White House Donald Trump held a rally this Saturday in Michigan in what was his first campaign event since the assassination attempt on July 13 in Butler, Pennsylvania. “Last week I received a bullet for democracy,” he defended during his speech.
At the event, Trump accused the Democratic party of using its ‘Project 2025’ to spread misinformation against him: “They keep saying it’s a threat to democracy. I say: ‘What the hell have I done for democracy?’ Last week I received a bullet for democracy,” he said in statements reported by ABC News.
According to the same network, the presidential candidate has suggested that the elections could be “stolen again”, as he already defended regarding the results of the 2020 elections. “Bad things happened last time. We are not going to let them happen this time, has assured.
In addition, the Republican has referred to the open crisis within the ranks of the Democratic party, where more and more voices are calling for his candidate, Joe Biden, to withdraw from the presidential race.
In this sense, he has also accused the Democratic party of trying to “overturn the results of their own party’s primaries to remove corrupt Joe Biden from the ballot.” “It couldn’t happen to a nicer guy,” he joked in reference to the American president, in a speech reported by the Bloomberg news agency.
In a speech that lasted two hours, the former president appealed to his followers, to whom he promised that “he will never stop working to offer a magnificent future to our people.”
“Now we advance as a single movement. We are more united and determined than ever (…). And together, we will fight, we will fight, we will fight, right? And we will win, we will win, we will win,” he assured, to which a crowd has responded by singing “fight, fight, fight.”
This event took place just a week after Donald Trump suffered an assassination attempt during another event in Butler, Pennsylvania, which is why security measures have been reinforced in a venue where the track and the 12,000 stadium seats were occupied. “almost” completely, according to the aforementioned agency.
Likewise, it is the first rally held since Ohio Senator James David Vance was named by Trump as a vice presidential candidate last Monday.
Vance has taken the stage to introduce the former president, whom he has praised for his four years in office. “He instinctively knew what this country needed and how to put the interests of its citizens first,” he declared in a speech reported by CNN.
In addition, he has attacked his rival, Kamala Harris, whom he has accused of having done nothing for the country except “cashing the check.” “The vice president doesn’t like me. She said something like I have no loyalty to this country. Well, I don’t know Kamala, I served in the United States Marine Corps and built a business. What the hell have you done apart from to cash the check?” he snapped.
The vice presidential candidate has made fun of the fact that Republicans are called “radical”, asking what is radical about manufacturing more goods in the United States instead of abroad, not getting involved in foreign conflicts because “sometimes it is not “our business” and secure the southern border of the United States to stop the flow of illegal immigrants and drugs.
“We want an America that works for Americans, and the only way to do that is to re-elect Donald Trump as president of the United States,” he said to cheers from the crowd, while ensuring that he will do “everything he can.” .
