Former President Donald Trump has ended his final campaign rally after speaking for nearly two hours in Grand Rapids, Michigan. He repeated many of his campaign promises, such as vowing to impose hefty tariffs and to crack down on illegal immigration.

Julio Cortez/APArizona Republican Senate candidate Kari Lake has held her final campaign rally, telling supporters that on Tuesday they have a chance to change the trajectory of this country and save this Republic.

Campaigning on the steps of the Yavapai County Courthouse in Prescott, Arizona on Monday — where US Sen. Barry Goldwater of Arizona launched his presidential campaign  Lake, a former TV newscaster up against Democratic Rep. Ruben Gallego in a key Senate race, argued that the Make America Great Again movement is not dead, and claimed that a silent majority will back her and former President Donald Trump tomorrow.

Lake and Gallego, a Marine veteran who represents Arizona’s 3rd congressional district, are vying for the pivotal Senate seat held by independent Sen. Kyrsten Sinema. Lake, who did not concede her 2022 election loss and promoted Trump’s false theories about the 2020 election, said she believes in fair and honest elections and argued I really believe that our Founding Fathers never envisioned we’d have elections that are run so horribly.

That’s why they never put in term limits because they figured we’d be able to vote the people that we didn’t respect out of office. And unfortunately, we haven’t been able to do that. And we’re going to change that after January. But the only way to change that is to show up in such a massive movement that we have their heads spinning, she said, pointing to the media.

She also thanked GOP congressional candidate Abe Hamadeh and said: When they did to us what they did to us in 2022, and everyone else ran and hid, guess who stood with me and said, damn it, we’re going to fight  Abe Hamadeh. She argued the election is not“Republican-Democrat anymore but Americanism versus communism.Former President Donald Trump speaks during a campaign rally in Grand Rapids, Michigan on Tuesday, November 5.Former President Donald Trump slammed US Rep.

Evil, she’s an evil, sick, crazy bi It starts with a ‘B’ but I won’t say it. I wanna say it,” Trump said to cheers from the crowd. I don’t use much (foul language), you know, every once in a while, and it’s never a real bad word, it’s never bad But it is a little better when you use foul language. These are bad people, he said.

Trump constantly rails against Pelosi and recently called the California Democrat “an enemy from within.Throughout the end of his campaign trail, Trump’s message has gotten increasingly dark and often offensive. At an event in North Carolina last week, Trump chuckled approvingly at an audience member’s suggestion that Vice President Kamala Harris worked as a sex worker.
