Good afternoon,
The United States of America is a nation built by consequential men who stood up in consequential moments. Last night’s assassination attempt on President Donald J. Trump should underscore the gravity of this moment in our nation's history and the strength of the man destined to restore America’s greatness.
By the grace of God last night, President Trump survived a coward’s bullet, and before leaving the stage he roared, "Fight!" So, we shall. We will fight by mobilizing the most epic political movement in history. We will fight by prosecuting the case against the worst president in American history, Joe Biden. And we will fight by delivering President Trump an electoral landslide to provide him the opportunity to unite our divided country and Make America Great Again.
