The former president is making his public debut for the first time since being wounded on Saturday night by 20-year-old gunman Thomas Crooks.
The audience screamed “fight, fight, fight” as Mr. Trump entered the crowded room and waved and raised his fist.
He spent almost an hour with his fans.
Earlier in the evening, JD Vance—a former critic who once likened Mr. Trump to Adolf Hitler and called him a “cultural heroine”—was revealed as his running partner.
Now that he has come to embrace Mr. Trump’s policies, Senator Vance frequently reiterates his belief that the Democrats “stole” the 2020 election.
I believe it’s really essential to be able to confess when you’re wrong again, even though I said some nasty things about Trump ten years ago,” he remarked in an interview with the News on Monday night.
Following the attempt on the life of his political competitor on Saturday, President Joe Biden stated that he and Mr. Trump had a “very cordial” phone chat.
“He sounded good,” Mr. Biden remarked during an interview with Lester Holt of News.
He thanked me for phoning and said he was okay. I informed him that Jill and I were actually praying for him and that I hoped his entire family was enduring this.
