Trump holds first campaign rally since apparent assassination attempt.
(The Post News)- Former President Donald Trump hosted a rally in Uniondale, New York, as he continues to campaign after a recent apparent assassination attempt. The event marked a significant stop in Trump’s campaign trail, particularly in a state where he has roots and a strong following.
Trump’s rally focused heavily on immigration, with the former president promising to “get rid of these people” and blaming Democratic leadership in New York City and state for homeless encampments and subway conditions. His remarks drew a large, roaring crowd, demonstrating deep support even in a traditionally blue state.
Meanwhile, Vice President Kamala Harris addressed the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute, criticising Trump’s immigration proposals and stance on reproductive rights. Harris mentioned the need for a pathway to citizenship and securing the border, contrasting her approach with Trump’s alarmist message.
New polling shows Harris with a modest advantage over Trump among likely voters in key battleground states. However, Trump maintains an advantage over Harris on whom voters trust to handle immigration.Trump announces that, if elected, he will make the World Trade Centre site a national monument. It’s an emotional subject on Long Island, where lots of police officers and firefighters live.Jonathan Swan said “Trump is sticking more to his teleprompter script than he usually does. He is hammering three themes: inflation, crime and illegal immigration.
His speech is full of false claims and hyperbole about a New York he is describing as a “third world” hellscapeThe influential Teamsters union declined to endorse either candidate, citing insufficient support from its members. Harris has secured endorsements from other major unions, while Trump has garnered support from some union members.
Trump also ramped up pressure on Republicans to shut down the government unless lawmakers pass a controversial bill targeting non-citizen voting. This move comes as the House failed to pass a funding plan that includes the voting legislation.
As Trump’s campaign continues, his focus on immigration and law and order is likely to resonate with his base. However, Harris’s emphasis on inclusivity and social justice may appeal to a broader audience. The outcome of this presidential campaign remains uncertain, with both candidates vying for crucial votes.
