At a rally in Pennsylvania, supporters of Donald Trump, the Republican presidential candidate and former US President, voiced their enthusiasm for his candidacy. They rallied around issues such as national security, immigration, and economic stability.
Brent Miller, a supporter who attended his fourth rally, shared his sentiments: “Today marks the end of a mega retreat to get people to vote. He’s asking for us to vote for the right things, and I agree.” He emphasized the importance of the future for his children and grandchildren, recalling his own fears during his youth about the threat of war. "I believe he will bring a great four years ahead of us," Miller said.
Another attendee expressed confidence in Trump's leadership, stating, “We are here to support our president because he is the one who is going to give us a bright future. I’m thinking about my grandchildren. I’ll be leaving this country next year, but my grandchildren will be here, and I want the best future for them. The only one who can do this is Donald Trump."
Tracy Kells, another supporter, articulated her strong views on immigration. “I came to this country legally in 2002 and had to undergo all the checks and sign a form stating that I wouldn’t take any benefits for at least five years,” she said. Kells expressed concern over the influx of over 20 million people entering the US without proper vetting, stating, “I believe that Trump will put a stop to that, which will help fix the economy and make America safer, just like it was when I first arrived.”
Amid discussions on various topics, one supporter responded to Trump's recent tweet regarding violence against Hindus in Bangladesh, saying, “I think that is horrible, and we need a president who can go in there, talk about it, and fix it.”
While campaigning in Lititz, Pennsylvania, Trump promised to restore the “American Dream,” criticizing his Democratic rival, Vice President Kamala Harris, for her perceived failure to uphold that dream. “I have come today with a message of hope for all Americans; with your vote on Tuesday, I will end inflation. I will stop the invasion of massive numbers of criminals coming into our country,” he declared. He emphasized his commitment to reviving the American Dream, stating, “Kamala broke it, and we will fix it fast."
Trump insisted that under his leadership, the country would see a resurgence, asserting that America would become “bigger, better, bolder, richer, safer, and stronger than ever before.” This rhetoric illustrates a core theme of his campaign, presenting a clear choice between what he describes as the current administration's "incompetence and failure" and the transformative success he promises if re-elected.
The US presidential election is set for November 5, with Trump competing against Vice President Kamala Harris, who aims to make history as the first female president. A recent poll from the New York Times and Siena College indicated that both candidates are tied at 48% in the popular vote, even after a tumultuous three months in US politics.
