A top executive in the Biden-Harris reelection crusade sent a Thursday night after former President Donald Trump’s closing remarks at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, saying Trump omitted things in his remarks.
Trump, the 2024 Republican presidential candidate, talked about preventing assassination at a rally last weekend in Pennsylvania and then highlighted the successes of his first term from 2017 to 2021.
The Biden-Harris campaign said the lengthy speech did not mention Project 2025, a presidential transition task introduced in April 2023 through a handful of Heritage Foundation trustees that is connected to the Trump campaign.
“It seeks to locate the disorders with the United States, not to provide solutions. But after all, it was Donald Trump who destroyed our economy, took away our rights, and failed middle-class families. Today, he continues his presidency with an even more excessive vision. of the direction this country should take. “
O’Malley Dillon said Biden is running “for a United States where we preserve democracy, not diminish it. “Where we repair our rights and our freedoms, without curtailing them.

Trump’s comments come as he discusses the wars that have broken out in recent years, creating a stark contrast between his four years in the White House and those of the Biden administration.
“To everyone I say: we, our hostages, are back. And they better come back before I take office, or they’ll pay a very high price. “
“With our victory in November, the years of war, weakness and chaos will be over,” he added. “I don’t have wars. I haven’t had wars apart from ISIS, which I have defeated. But it is a war that “We haven’t had wars. “I can avoid wars with a phone call. “

Former President Donald Trump has said that Sam Brown, the Republican Senate candidate from Nevada who served in the US military, was injured by an improvised explosive device explosion.
Trump’s comments about Brown came Thursday in his speech at the Republican National Convention, where he strongly condemned the Biden administration’s complicated withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021.
“And by the way, we have a guy in this room running for the United States Senate from a wonderful state, Nevada, named Sam Brown, who paid the price,” he added.
Trump suggested to Nevada’s electorate that they vote this fall for Brown, whom he described as a “true hero. “
“He’s probably paid the highest amount ever paid for anyone running for office, and I think he’s going to do very well. He’s running against a user who’s no good, who’s not respected, a lightweight. . . He’s a genuine hero, a wonderful user and he shows up. I hope everyone comes out and votes for Sam Brown.
“One of the worst speeches Trump has ever made,” he said. “Cut, incoherent, with very little energy, strangely strange aside, I’m literally surprised that he’s so serious. And, of course, the lies required are lies and surely there is no new tone. “
Throughout Trump’s speech, he recounted Saturday’s horrific murder and discussed key issues on the Republican agenda: illegal immigration, inflation and ending the wars between Ukraine and Russia and between Israel and Hamas.

“Oh, that’s it, that’s pretty good, wow,” Trump said after noticing that the graphic was now displayed on the RNC’s screen. “The last time I posted this painting, I never had a chance to take a look at it. Without this painting, I wouldn’t be here today. “
Although former President Trump’s planned speech mentioned President Biden’s call at all, Trump went off script Thursday night and spoke twice about the current president.
“They probably wouldn’t have done the damage that Biden has caused; they will only use the term once: Biden. I’m not going to use that term anymore,” Trump said. “Only once. “

The firm’s angry complaint comes as Republicans and some Democrats demand answers from the Secret Service about cases related to the attempt on Trump’s life in Butler, Pennsylvania, on Saturday. The shooter is known as Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, and the FBI is investigating his exact motive.
“The duty falls on me,” he told ABC News. I’m the director of the Secret Service, and I have to make sure that we do an investigation and allocate resources to our staff if necessary. “He also criticized his comments about a “sloping roof. ” which posed a security problem.

“Yes, you are,” the crowd chanted in response. Yes, you are. “

The shot narrowly missed, hitting the former president’s skull and puncturing his right ear as he turned to look at one of his immigration charts displayed on a screen at the event.
“There was blood flowing everywhere, and yet I felt very safe because I had God on my side,” Trump continued. “The amazing thing is that before the shot, if I hadn’t moved my head at the last moment, the assassin’s bullet would have hit the target perfectly, and I wouldn’t be with you tonight. “
Thanks to this, Trump said, “many lives have been saved. “
“But that’s not the explanation for why they didn’t move, the explanation for why they knew I was in serious trouble, they saw all the blood and they thought I was dead, and they didn’t just need to leave me and you can see that. love written on their faces,” he said.
“I’m supposed to be here tonight,” Trump said, as the crowd responded, “Yes, you will be. “
“I stand before you in this arena only by the grace of Almighty God,” Trump said. “Looking at the news over the last few days, a lot of other people are saying it’s a providential moment. “
Trump then recounted the moment when the iconic photo of the fist in the air was taken by Associated Press photojournalist Evan Vucci as he took off surrounded by the Secret Service.
“Once my clenched fist went up in the air, the crowd knew I was OK and roared proudly for our country like no crowd I’ve ever heard before,” Trump said. “For the rest of my life, I will be grateful for the love shown through that giant audience of patriots who bravely stood up on that fateful night in Pennsylvania. “

They simply separate themselves. But this administration is doing everything everything possible to avoid them,” Trump will say according to prepared statements.
“They come from jails, prisons, intellectual establishments and asylums, and terrorists in degrees never before observed. Meanwhile, our crime rate is increasing, while crime statistics around the world are falling,” he will say. “That is because they hand over their murderers, drug traffickers, terrorists and criminals of all forms and bureaucracy to the United States. “
“We have a dump for the world that makes us laugh,” he will say.
“Tonight, United States, this is my vote: I will not allow those murderers and criminals to enter our country. I will be the protection of our sons and daughters,” he will say.

And I think our party will continue to grow and attract new people,” Scalise said.

Habba told the audience that he was walking through the streets of Manhattan when a Trump supporter shouted “God bless you and President Trump!”
“This guy didn’t know he was on the phone with the president in person,” Habba recalls. “And without delay he asked me to pause, give my phone to the guy and spend some time talking to him and thanking him for his support. “
Habba became emotional when speaking about her for Trump, telling the crowd that the former president “loves other Americans and loves this country. “
“I think [former President] Trump is going to blank everyone he gets,” one aide said, adding that it gave the impression that Biden “was about to leave. “
“I don’t think it matters. I think no matter who they have, their bank is pretty shallow and weak right now. “
“The power of God over the life of this man cannot be denied. There is no denying that God protected him. There is no denying that it was a millimetric miracle that could have saved this man’s life,” he said. Could it be? That Jesus Christ preserved him during such a period?”
Sewell’s comments drew loud applause from the crowd.
He continued, “Could it be that when we prayed for him, when he came to the circular table in Detroit, Jesus asked and received, that we sought him and then found protection?Could it be that the King of Glory, the Lord God, strong and mighty, the mighty God in battle, has Donald Trump because he needs to use him for a moment like this?

Former United States Secretary of State Mike Pompeo lashed out at President Biden on the final night of the Republican conference in Milwaukee for his “incompetent withdrawal” from Afghanistan just three years ago.
“For those of you who served there, know this. Know that your service is honorable, that you saved American lives, and that the Pompeos love and appreciate you for what you have done for United States. Thank you and may God bless you both. “
In 2021, the administration’s hasty decision to withdraw troops from Afghanistan when the Taliban took control of the country in a matter of days led to increased security risks and challenges. During the latest evacuation efforts at Kabul airport, several incidents of this generation put evacuees and U. S. military personnel at risk, including a suicide attack outside the airport in August 2021 that claimed the lives of thirteen U. S. soldiers.
“In the second war in Gaza, President Biden probably wouldn’t even communicate the fact that Americans are still being held there through the Iranian regime,” Pompeo said. “This is in contrast to what we did when Americans were unjustly detained. President Trump sent me to North Korea to bring back 3 American pastors. We brought them home. We brought them home with dozens of other hostages. And we did it without paying a single penny to the terrorists.

Hogan also spoke about Trump’s assassination attempt that took place last Saturday in Butler, Pennsylvania, and said it prompted him to leave the former president’s presidential campaign.

Hogan said he “shuddered” when he learned of Trump’s assassination attempt.
“It shook me to the core when this happened,” he said. “When I saw him stand up with that fist in the air and blood on his face, as a warrior, as a leader, I knew that’s what United States needed. I knew it from the beginning, I was just afraid to speak. “
“He loves this country, he loves his family, he loves everyone in America, and that’s why other people have a different view of him because of what they write about him in the press. That’s not who he is. “, said. .

Abbott, who spoke at the conference Wednesday night, emphasized that “other people across the country are excited and angry about what’s happening at the border. They are for other people who will fight for them.

MILWAUKEE – The Rev. Lorenzo Sewell, who will address Republicans at the RNC on Thursday night, told Fox News Digital why black voters are turning to former President Trump despite some denials from Democrats.
“When President Donald Trump came to our church last month, you might see other black people there. We know this construction is without a doubt, because in my church I saw firsthand the eyes of rappers, preachers, teachers , who are not necessarily affiliated with the Church, pay attention to President Donald Trump.
