Trump heads to Pennsylvania for first rally in state since shooting: Live

Pennsylvania Senate candidate David McCormick took the stage on Wednesday night, saying “This is the most important election of our lifetime. We know it.”

“We also know that this is ground zero, which is going to put you back in the White House and a majority in the Senate,” he told Trump.

Trump claimed that he would end the war between Russia and Ukraine before even coming back into office, saying that he would negotiate an end to the war “after the election as president-elect.”

Donald Trump introduced the woman who operates his new favorite immigration chart, which he claims has “saved his life”.

“I love that chart. I’m gonna sleep with that chart for the rest of my life,” he told the cheering crowd.

“You know the amazing stuff, the people that operate the computers and all the brilliant equipment things we have backstage.

“She said to me… she’s great… she should come out, just tell her to come out here for a second, quick, quick, quick you gotta get her out. She’s never done this before… she saved my life in a sense…here she is! Wow!”

The former president shared an awkward embrace with the young woman and gave her a peck on the cheek, before describing her as “a computer genius”.

She declined to say anything major, sheepishly saying “hi” into the microphone before exiting the stage to more cheers from Trump supporters.

Donald Trump claimed without evidence on Wednesday that the House Select Committee investigating January 6 destroyed evidence and argued that they should indicted.

Donald Trump was in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania on Wednesday for his first campaign rally in the swing state of Pennsylvania since he came within inches of being killed by a would-be assassin’s bullet earlier this month.

The former president spoke at an indoor rally where thousands packed in to see him just hours after he appeared for a confrontational interview with the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) in Chicago. In that appearance, Trump insulted his opponent, Kamala Harris, and falsely accused her of lying about her race — stating that she recently “became Black”. Harris, who is biracial, is Black and Indian-American. He walked out to Lee Greenwood’s “Proud to be an American”, days after Greenwood himself appeared at the Republican National Convention and endorsed him.

“As you know, this is my first rally since Butler,” Trump said. “We’re going back to Butler, by the way.”

Trump claimed on Wednesday night that “This November the American people are going to reject Kamala Harris’s dangerous liberal extremism in a massive landslide.”

“We’re not going to let her turn the United States into a communist San Francisco colony,” he added. “We’re not gonna let it happen. That’s what they want to do. They want to destroy our country. She’s the worst.”
