President Donald Trump adopted a grim tone in remarks to Republicans who formally backed his bid for a second term on Monday, warning without ...
Trump spoke on the first day of the sharply scaled-back Republican National Convention in Charlotte, North Carolina, after he received enough votes to formally win the nomination to take on his Democratic rival, former Vice President Joe Biden, in the Nov 3 election.
"What they're doing is using COVID to steal an election," Trump said."They're using COVID to defraud the American people - all of our people - of a fair and free election." Mark and Patricia McCloskey, a couple who made national news when they drew firearms on racial equality protesters outside their Missouri home in June, will depict Biden as seeking to protect"criminals from honest citizens", according to excerpts of speeches sent by organisers.
Prominent Republican women will also speak on Trump's behalf, including his former United Nations ambassador Nikki Haley, who will say the president"stood up for America" on the world stage.The party opted not to vote on a traditional platform document detailing its policy goals, instead saying that it supports what Trump is doing. Trump's campaign released a series of bullet-point goals, including a promise to"create 10 million new jobs in 10 months".
Biden's campaign said Trump would attempt to change the subject, delivering"more desperate, wild-eyed lies and toxic division, in vain attempts to distract from his mismanagement", according to spokesman Andrew Bates.
