Trump spent much of his Minnesota rally criticizing Biden — even though Biden is no longer Trump's 2024 opponent.
The rally often reflected events from the campaign trail before the assassination attempt and at the start of Harris' campaign.
In front of an enthusiastic crowd, Trump mocked Biden's golfing skills, cognitive abilities and performance at the event. He also criticized Biden's son, Hunter Biden, a former rival, and taunted the president. Trump mocked Biden's gait as he paced around the stage to make it look like he was unable to leave the event.
Trump himself, in pivoting to attack Harris, seemed to allude to a constant fact that has remained constant over the past month, despite major upsets in the 2024 election. He spoke about the assassination attempt that took place at a rally in Pennsylvania, a life-or-death experience that could have been a turning point for many. But Trump said he hasn't changed since the assassination attempt.
“People say, 'I think he's changed. I think he's different from two weeks ago. Something has affected him,'” Trump said of the assassination attempt. “No, I haven't changed. I've probably gotten worse, because I get angry every day at the incompetence that I see and the way millions of people are pouring into this country.”
