US election campaign - Trump will campaign for unity rally despite assassination attempt
Due to the attacks on him, ex-President Donald Trump intends to appeal for overcoming political division in the country at the Republican Party convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, according to his own statements in an interview with the tabloid "New York Post." He reportedly discarded his originally planned and very aggressive speech for the Republican Party convention and instead said, "I want to try to bring the country together." However, he admitted, "I don't know if it's possible. The people are very divided."
The four-day Republican Party convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, begins today. Trump is expected to be officially endorsed as the party's presidential candidate for the November election and give a significant speech there. Despite the attack on Saturday at a campaign rally where he was injured in the ear, the 78-year-old traveled to Milwaukee on Sunday.
"I had a very harsh speech completely prepared, really good, everything about the corrupt, terrible government," Trump told the "New York Post" further. "But I threw it away." He reportedly added that the different political positions, such as on the topic of immigration, would remain unchanged but that he wanted to bring the country together through success. He suggested that the campaign tone should now be more tempered.
The call from US President Joe Biden, whom he plans to challenge in the November election, was good, Trump continued. Biden was "very nice," according to Trump.
Biden warned the Americans in a Sunday evening (local time) speech about politically motivated violence and called for cooling down the heated political climate. "We are not enemies," he emphasized. Trump posted on his self-founded platform Truth Social in capital letters shortly after Biden's speech: "America unite!"
- Despite Trump's intention to promote unity at the Republican Party convention, some critics question if his past actions, such as the US Election 2024-related allegations, can truly help in overcoming political division in the United States of America.
- The Republicans, who are backing Trump for the US campaign in 2024, believe that his approach to addressing criminality and election fraud will help in winning back support in key states like Wisconsin.
- Joe Biden's campaign team is closely watching the Republican Party convention in Milwaukee, as any missteps or controversial statements by Trump could impact the dynamics of the US Election 2024.
- Donald Trump's decision to tone down his speech at the Republican Party convention, focusing more on unity rather than attacking his opponents, was seen as a strategic move to appeal to undecided voters in the US election.
- The New York Post, which had previously published stories critical of Joe Biden during the US campaign, has refrained from publishing any negative articles about Trump's plan to bring unity during the Republican Party convention.
- The Republicans, in their efforts to support Trump's US campaign, have highlighted the need for strong leadership and a firm stance on issues like immigration and national security, arguing that these are crucial for overcoming the challenges facing the United States of America.
- The Wisconsin Republican Party, which has been a strong supporter of Trump, has urged its members to focus on the upcoming US election and work towards overcoming divisions, even as they continue to criticize Joe Biden and the Democrats' policies.
