Donald Trump is riding high after Democrats’ failure to utilize the Democratic National Convention (DNC) to springboard Vice President Kamala Harris’s struggling campaign.
“Everyone will prosper, every family will thrive, and every day will be filled with joy and opportunity and hope, but for that to happen, we must defeat Kamala Harris,” Trump told the crowd near the end of his remarks.
“We must stop her country-destroying liberal agenda once and for all,” he added.
Yet Harris seems content to use her “Joy” as the theme of a vibe-focused campaign that, so far, has lacked any significant substance or discussion of the issues.
The celebrity-powered DNC had its moments but never recreated the enthusiasm of Obama’s two conventions — a sentiment seemingly fueling Trump’s elevated mood.
Former President Trump seemed noticeably cheerful during events on Friday, charming crowds with his characteristic humor while hammering Democrats’ agenda.
The Arizona rally focused on border security, with Trump blasting “border czar” Kamala Harris for failing to stem the escalating tide of migrants flooding illegally into the nation.
Surprise guest Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s appearance provided an unforgettable and historic moment. Kennedy endorsed Trump earlier in the afternoon, and his appearance on stage launched the crowd into a frenzy with chants of “Bobby!”
Trump’s rally attracted 16,200 attendees, according to event organizer Charlie Kirk. Kirk’s Turning Point Action cohosted the rally.
Hey, Kamala. Unlike you, we can actually fill up an arena. You had to cover the top row because you couldn’t fill it. We checked with the venue, and they say your rally got 10,200 people. We just got 16,200 for ours. Same venue, with LESS notice.
And we didn’t have to pay to bus… https://t.co/PspIT47D8a pic.twitter.com/GNsldblssf
