Angela Wilkinson asserted during a political event that her hero will unseat Joe Biden from the White House in 2016. She was draped in a vibrant campaign banner and wore an oversize “God, Guns, and Trump” necklace around her neck.
Only two days after Vice President Joe Biden announced his bid for reelection in 2024, his likely Republican opponent Donald Trump visited early-voting New Hampshire on Thursday to energise his fans and increase their belief that he can retake the position he lost to the seasoned Democrat.
Many attendees, including Wilkinson, a 48-year-old insurance agent who travelled several hours from Maine, the northeasternmost state, to hear Trump speak, expressed their excitement for another Biden-Trump battle at the rally in a Manchester hotel ballroom.
An additional contest? Exasperated, Wilkinson made reference to widely refuted allegations of election fraud that she and others at the gathering repeated: “There wasn’t even a match to begin with” in 2020.
But bring it on,” Wilkinson added with a smile, placing his palm on one hip. Considering that Biden will be completely destroyed. Without a doubt, there won’t be any electoral interference in 2024.
Native New Hampshiren Anne-Marie O’Neil concurred. The 63-year-old certified nursing assistant added, “I don’t like Biden,” and “there should be a rematch.”
O’Neil did not flinch when asked if she was ready for a rough fight that would involve Trump campaigning while dogged by legal concerns. She responded, “I have the stomach for anything.”
He is an athlete.
Bad news was weighing on Trump’s campaign when he arrived in New Hampshire.
In a New York court this week, a female author said that Trumped had sexually assaulted her in the mid-1990s.
Mike Pence, his vice president, appeared before a grand jury on Thursday in relation to the 2001 US Capitol riot by Trump supporters.
Trump also appeared before a judge earlier this month to answer questions about charges stemming from payments he made to a porn star as hush money soon before the 2016 presidential election.
The MAGA base, however, refused to let the onslaught of legal issues divert them.
O’Neil remarked, “It pushes him forward; he’s a fighter.” “They have pursued Trump from the beginning.”
And Trump reminded his audience of this while rehashing a number of familiar complaints: the 2020 election was “rigged,” Democrats are “weaponizing” the subpoena process, and the “corrupt global establishment” is uniting against him once more.
However, his supporters erupted in applause when Trump, who is 76 years old, insulted his 80-year-old Democratic adversary by acting like an older man who was lost or stumbling before declaring, “We’re going to crush Joe Biden.”
During his more than 90-minute speech, the brazen millionaire also recited a list of talking points that had been most popular.
Among other statements, he asserted that he is the only candidate who “will prevent World War III,” that illegal immigration has turned the United States into a “dumping ground for the entire world,” and that the Biden administration has replaced the country’s founding fathers with “stupid people.”
Just like a zombie
Trump’s supporters in Manchester insisted that a large portion of what was dismissed by detractors as conspiracy theories was actually true, despite the conservative-leaning Fox News paying an eye-popping $787.5 million to settle a lawsuit alleging that the network willfully aired Trump’s false claims, including accusations of election fraud.
According to Maureen Anderson, 43, a resident of nearby Massachusetts, “I don’t think he lost the election at all. “I believe he won by a wide margin, you know?”
One fan, a Vietnamese American man in his late 40s named Tin Tran, was dressed to the nines, sporting a cowboy hat and a suit with the words “ReTrumpbution Now” written in gold letters down the back.
They’re going to steal the election again!” Sinead O’Connor’s “Nothing Compares 2 U” was playing over the rally’s sound system as he said it loudly.
According to Tran, Biden is “like a zombie, so easy to control him behind the scenes.”
Although Mike Osene and his wife Anne, both 45 and from Connecticut, voiced less extreme opinions about the race and acknowledged that Trump won in 2020, they both were hopeful about taking on Biden once more.
In a rematch, Mike Osene predicted that Trump would dominate the opponent.
