Former President Donald Trump was joined by his new running mate Sen. JD Vance Saturday as he held his first campaign rally since the assassination attempt a week ago.
“Last week I took a bullet for democracy,” he told roaring crowds.
Trump was his old self when he launched into his usual attack against Democrats asking his supporters who they would like him to face if Biden were to drop out of the race.
He cited Kamala Harris, to the crowds’ boos, and then mentioned Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer.
“I don’t think we have to go too much further,” he said. “You have a terrible governor who did a terrible job. I’d like to run against her.”
The Trump campaign said 25,000 supporters attended the indoor rally; another 15,000 gathered outside the arena.
The Republican Presidential nominee said that criminal indictments against him won’t grant Biden victory.
“He’s a weak, pathetic man who can’t run an election. So he indicts his opponent, thinking that’s going to win,”
“Third-world countries do this a lot, banana republics do it a lot,”
“We’ve never done it. And we’re going to teach you why they can never do it again.”
