Former US President Donald Trump addressed a pre-election rally in Wisconsin on Saturday. The Republican candidate in the upcoming presidential election lamented that the prosecutors who brought charges against him are actually trying to prevent him from running in the November election.
Observers note that the pre-election rally in Mosinee, located in central Wisconsin, took place just days before the announced first, and likely only, debate featuring his rival in the race for the White House, current Vice President Kamala Harris. Trump appeared before his supporters behind a bulletproof glass shield, a consequence of the July 13 attack during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, in which he was slightly injured.
Harris and Biden’s Justice Department is trying to put me in prison – they want me behind bars for the crime of exposing their corruption
— the former US president accused his political opponents.
In this context, the AP stresses that there is no evidence that President Biden or Vice President Harris had any influence on the decisions of the Department of Justice or local jurisdictions regarding Trump’s impeachment. The Republican candidate spoke a day after appearing in court to appeal the decision that finds him responsible for sexual harassment.
Hours later, a Manhattan judge announced that sentencing in his bribery case had been postponed until after the election. The verdict was previously scheduled for Sept. 18.
During a rally in Mosinee, Trump once again criticized his Democratic rival. In his opinion, if – as he said – “Comrade Kamala Harris” becomes president of the United States, the country will turn into a “banana republic” in the full sense of the word, ruled by anarchy. He also condemned the Biden administration’s migration policy, calling the Democrats’ approach to the issue of migration “suicidal.”
The AP points out that to have a chance of winning the November vote, Trump must win the support of an electorate like Wisconsin residents, which will allow him to eliminate the Democrats’ advantage in large urban centers.
