On the heels of the Democratic National Convention (DNC) hoopla, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump is leaving no swing state unchallenged as he ramps up efforts to get more support from voters ahead of the Nov. 5 election.
Trump is planning several high-profile campaign-stumping events next week, and one of the first is aimed right at the Midwestern swing state of Wisconsin. The Trump campaign announced that the former President will hold a town hall meeting on Thursday in a community center in La Crosse, Wisconsin, to discuss campaign issues with voters.
“After Wisconsin voters have been forced to endure four years of (Vice President) Kamala Harris and (President) Joe Biden’s dangerously liberal policies, President Trump will meet with Wisconsinites to listen to their concerns and share his promising agenda: to make America affordable again,” the Trump campaign said in an announcement.
Trump tried to capture some headlines away from Harris and the DNC last week as the meeting of Democratic Party delegates in Chicago, Illinois, generated headline after headline. However, Trump’s main attention-getter came Friday when the third-party candidate for President Robert F. Kennedy Jr. suspended his campaign after flagging poll numbers and other campaign indicators showing he was not in serious contention for the White House. Kennedy threw his endorsement behind Trump.
Kennedy cited free speech, the war in Ukraine, and “a war on our children” as among the reasons he would try to remove his name from the ballot in battleground states.
“These are the principal causes that persuaded me to leave the Democratic Party and run as an independent, and now to throw my support to President Trump,” Kennedy said at an event in Phoenix Friday.
Trump was quick to embrace Kennedy’s endorsement.
“We are both in this to do what’s right for the country,” Trump said, later commending Kennedy for having “raised critical issues that have been too long ignored in this country.”
With Kennedy standing nearby, Trump invoked his slain uncle and father, John F. Kennedy and Robert F. Kennedy, saying he knows “that they are looking down right now and they are very, very proud.”
He said that if he won this fall, he would establish a new independent presidential commission on assassination attempts that would release all remaining documents related to John F. Kennedy’s assassination.
And he repeated his pledge to establish a panel — “working with Bobby” — to investigate the increase in chronic health conditions and childhood diseases, including autoimmune disorders, autism, obesity and infertility.
Members of the Democratic and iconic Kennedy family have distanced themselves from Robert F. Kennedy’s involvement and support for Trump.
Five of Kennedy’s family members issued a statement Friday calling his support for Trump “a sad ending to a sad story” and reiterating their support for Harris.
“Our brother Bobby’s decision to endorse Trump today is a betrayal of the values that our father and our family hold most dear,” read the statement his sister Kerry Kennedy posted on X.

Good Morn ‘Ting America,
Trump now smells victory for himself and more importantly our Great Nation along with The Entire Planet Earth as well.
Trump totally had a firm grip on victory after that Clown $hit Show ….. AKA THE DNC.
HOWEVER:
RFK’s Sage Endorcement just hammered the final nails in the DemonCrat’s coffin.
The vast majority of 2020 8iden voters have already walked away from The DemonCratic Party in shame of what their former Party has become. And yes, most of them are pretending it was due to their own standards of right and wrong being offended by the DemonCrat Party. Rather than just being truthfull and crediting me, ELVIS [FKA EARL] for showing them the True Path to Truth, Justice, and The American Way.
SO IN CLOSING:
I dont need any credit for saveing The Entire Planet …. even though thats exactly what happened. And dont worry, America, I, ELVIS [FKA EARL] will continue to monitor the election and will not abandon you.
AND FINALLY:
The entire Planet Earth is finally “FREE, FREE, FREE AT LAST to enjoy the Sage and Healthfull Benifits of Relaxing Their Political SPHINCTERS!!!!!!
ELVIS [FKA EARL[

Don’t know about saving the planet, Elvis. I think he just might be the guy to roast our grandchildren alive. When old people tout climate denial it’s as selfish as everything else coming out of the GOP.

Your my Besty Lefty and not subject to the highly feared and painfull ELVIS [FKA EARL] CHASTIZEMENTS.
ALSO:
With the Democratic Beat-Down Smak-Down fastly approaching, I, ELVIS, am waiving all Chastizements (including the much feared “Wanking” Ban) until further notice.
After Trump/Vance take over the levers of power I will likely cease and disist all Chastizements and Wanking Bans as law and order will have been restored for ome & all.
Thank you my Besty Lefty OJ
Again you will never be Chastized or have me order the Wanking Ban on you,
ELVIS

Nice to see him waste some money in Wisconsin. Trump hasn’t had a poll showing him ahead since July 24th and that was done by Fox News.

You can tell when Donald gets peeved that his aides are making him stick to the script… he has a lazy, singsong, bored delivery.
