The vote for the American presidential election is this week. And during the last weekend before the November 5 vote, Kamala Harris and Donald Trump threw their last strength into the battle for the White House. And, like the entire campaign, the former president was once again particularly virulent on Sunday.
During an open-air meeting in Lititz, in the key state of Pennsylvania, the Republican candidate once again assured that the 2020 election against Joe Biden had been stolen from him. He also took the opportunity to attack journalists, accusing them several times of spreading false information, according to TF1.
Republicans try to avoid controversy
In front of his supporters, his diatribe against the media was particularly violent. The information site notes in fact that by “referring to the armored glazing now installed around him, after having been the victim of two assassination attempts, [Donald Trump] said that to reach it, “you would have to shoot through” the journalists. The former president even added: “It doesn’t bother me.”
In order to avoid too big a final controversy two days before the vote, his teams then stepped up to minimize the statements of the Republican candidate. In a press release, Steven Cheung, communications director for the campaign, explained that his candidate would only have wanted to warn journalists of the threats they could receive. According to him, Donald Trump “said that the media were in danger, to the extent that they were protecting him and, therefore, were themselves in great danger, and should also have had glass protection.” » Steven Cheung therefore assured that the Republican candidate absolutely did not want journalists to be targeted by gunfire.
Meetings until the end
It remains to be seen whether the Republican camp will once again have to debunk Donald Trump's outrageous remarks on Monday. Because until the end, the one who fights to return to the White House will hold meetings in order to ensure the maximum number of votes in key states, crucial to winning the presidential election.
According to his schedule relayed by TF1, Donald Trump will be in North Carolina this Monday morning, then back in Pennsylvania in the afternoon, before heading to Michigan in the evening.
