Donald Trump interrupted by crowd singing national anthem at rally
Donald Trump has announced four rallies for the home stretch of the midterm elections, taking him to Ohio, Pennsylvania, Florida and Iowa. He will campaign alongside various Republican candidates but is snubbing several others – including those fighting competitive races in Arizona, Georgia and Nevada.
However, his Florida rally will apparently not feature Governor Ron DeSantis, who is considered his most viable opponent in a hypothetical Republican 2024 presidential primary. Mr DeSantis himself is up for re-election but is expected to have no trouble winning his race against former governor Charlie Crist.
The former president also shared a post on Truth Social in which Megyn Kelly says she thinks the Republican base wouldn’t leave Mr Trump to support anyone else unless he picked them personally.
Meanwhile, Mr Trump’s attorneys have received the January 6 committee’s subpoena compelling the former president to appear for deposition by 14 November and turn over relevant documents.
In the case against his company, jury selection has been completed and the Trump Organization tax fraud trial will now proceed. Prosecutors noted the difficulty in choosing a fair jury in Manhattan where the former president is especially unpopular.
