United States: Donald Trump stakes his claim as his successor's election rival in 2024, using a rally in Pennsylvania to express his fury over an FBI search of his Florida home and President Joe Biden's criticism of political extremism.
In addition to endorsing two Republican candidates, Trump labeled Biden an "enemy of the state" in retaliation for the president's remarks made 48 hours earlier in Philadelphia, where Biden criticized anti-democratic forces within the Trump movement.
The former president told Wilkes-Barre on Saturday that Joe Biden came to "Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to deliver the most vicious, hateful and divisive speech ever made by an American president." He spoke with hatred and anger.
Then, praising Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping, Trump began a speech filled with complaints about the FBI search, a five-year-old investigation into his campaign's ties with Russia, emails from former rival Hillary Clinton. , the results of the 2020 election, crime rates, the Mexican border, and the social media giant his own company is competing with now.
"We're going to take America back and take America back," Trump declared. And most importantly, we will reclaim our magnificent White House in 2024.
He took aim at the FBI, accusing the Biden administration of "attacking the home of his main political rival," completely destroying him in the polls.
According to Trump, "this blatant abuse of the law is going to create a response like no one has ever seen before."
Trump's claim was refuted by an August 17-25 Wall Street Journal poll conducted after the March-a-Lago search showed Biden was 50% to 44% of the former president in a hypothetical rematch of the 2020 election. was leading. Both were married in March.
Trump's speech reportedly backed Doug Mastriano, Republican candidates for governor and Mehmet Oz for the US Senate, which he backed in this spring's primary elections. With the US Senate and a crucial battleground state in 2024, both candidates are trailing in the election.

The November midterm election, which Trump framed as "a referendum on the corruption and extremism of Joe Biden and the hardline Democrats," was the main theme of his speech. The former president's speech, which lasted nearly two hours and began 40 minutes late, provided no new ground, circulating tired complaints.
After nearly 70 minutes of criticizing Democratic Lieutenant Governor John Fetterman, whom he referred to as a "poor and entitled socialist loser," Trump eventually attacked Oz's rival.

Trump claimed that John Fetterman is the most dangerous Democrat to run for Congress this year and one of the most extreme left-wing freak shows to run for office in any state.
Trump and Dr. Oz's lie, the Fetterman campaign responded, "over and over."
After an automatic recount, Oz won the Pennsylvania Republican Party Senate primary by 951 votes over David McCormick, the former CEO of Bridgewater Associates, thanks to Trump's endorsement.
However, despite the fact that the lieutenant governor was absent from the campaign trail after suffering a stroke in April, Oz has struggled to keep up with Fetterman in the race for the general election.
Biden visited Pennsylvania twice in the past week and is scheduled to return on Labor Day. On Tuesday, he stopped at Wilkes-Barre, which is close to Trump's rally. In Pennsylvania, where Trump won by 44,292 votes in 2016, Biden defeated Trump in 2020 by 80,555 votes.
