\nFormer US President and Republican nominee for the November elections Donald Trump addressed a crowd of supporters in the swing state of Michigan, speaking alongside his newly announced running mate, J.D. Vance.
\nThe Saturday rally in Grand Rapids was Trump\u2019s first public campaign event since the attempt on his life last week, when he narrowly avoided getting fatally shot in the head. The gunman\u2019s bullets at the rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, grazed the candidate\u2019s ear and hit the crowd behind him, killing one person and injuring two others.
\nMichigan is one of several pivotal battleground states on which the outcome of the November presidential election is expected to hinge. In the 2020 election, incumbent US President Joe Biden flipped the state\u2019s vote, despite Trump securing it in the previous 2016 election.
\n\u201cAt this very moment, Democrat Party bosses are frantically trying to overthrow the results of their own party\u2019s primaries to dump Crooked Joe Biden from the ballot,\u201d Trump, now wearing a skin-colored bandage on his ear, told the crowd.
\nThe Republican frontrunner took a jab at his political opponents, saying the Democrats \u201chave no idea who their candidate is, and neither do we.\u201d
\nThis comes amid a rising chorus of Congressional Democrats urging their presumptive nominee to step aside and make way for another party member to run. While the 81-year-old has faced public scrutiny over his mental and physical decline for some time, apprehensions have deepened since his disastrous performance in last month\u2019s televised debate against Trump.
\nBiden, who is currently self-isolating in his Delaware home after contracting Covid-19, has insisted he\u2019s still in the race and will be back on the campaign trail by next week.
