Former President Donald Trump held a rally in Arizona where he referred to the country as being occupied by a “migrant invasion” and promised to “liberate” the United States if he were to return to the White House. Trump blamed Vice President Kamala Harris for the situation, claiming that she has “eradicated our sovereign border” and unleashed migrant gangs. He also criticized her for her handling of immigration, stating that she should be disqualified from running the country. Trump’s rally focused on immigration issues and he highlighted stories of violent migrant crimes, stating that migrants were taking jobs from Black and Hispanic workers in Arizona.
The rally came just 12 days before Election Day, with Trump narrowly leading Harris in Arizona polls. His visit was part of a series of campaign events taking place in the state, including visits from other politicians. Trump’s allies warmed up the crowd ahead of his appearance, painting a dark picture of a nation overrun by migrant-driven violence. Trump campaign senior adviser Stephen Miller promised to send home criminals and menaces that crossed the border, while entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy framed the election as a critical moment for the nation. U.S. Rep. Andy Biggs attacked Democrats during his remarks, addressing the controversy surrounding Trump’s alleged comments about Hitler.
During the rally, Trump urged voters to support Kari Lake, the Republican U.S. Senate candidate in Arizona, who made a playful remark about being called physically attractive by former President Bill Clinton. Despite criticism and controversies, Trump’s rally in Arizona focused on immigration and crime issues, positioning himself as a candidate who will address these issues if he were to return to office.
