Former President Donald Trump appeared on Saturday at his first rally since he survived an assassination attempt one week prior.
This campaign event took place in the critical swing state of Michigan and became the first time Trump appeared at a rally with his new running mate Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) following the Republican National Convention.
Below are five highlights from the rally in Grand Rapids, Michigan:
“Bullet for democracy”
The crowd erupted into cheers after Trump rebuffed Democrats who have called him a “threat to democracy.”
He harkened back to the shooting at his rally last weekend in Pennsylvania during which a bullet ripped through his ear.
“They keep saying, ‘he’s a threat to democracy,’” Trump said. “I’m saying, ‘What the hell did I do for democracy?’ Last week, I took a bullet for democracy.”
TRUMP: “They keep saying, ‘He’s a threat to Democracy.’”
