Lara Trump arriving at a campaign event in Doylestown on Monday afternoon.
With only 64 days remaining until voters cast their ballots, supporters of President Donald Trump stood outside the Bucks County Republican Committee headquarters on Monday afternoon waiting to hear a message of hope, a reassurance they would see four more years of President Donald Trump.
Stepping out to the applause of roughly 50 attendees outside the Doylestown Borough party headquarters, Lara Trump, senior advisor for the Trump campaign, expressed confidence in her father-in-law’s chances of securing his presidential reelection on Nov. 3.
“Who here is ready for four more years of Donald Trump?” asked Trump to a crowd who responded with cheers and applause.
Trump started out by lauding the president for his accomplishments over the past three and a half years, boasting low unemployment numbers and record high stock markets prior to what she called “the artificial interruption of the coronavirus pandemic to the economy.”
She emphasized the importance of staying vigilant, calling the upcoming presidential vote “the most consequential election in the history of our modern country,” and warning those in attendance what the country would look like if Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden were to win.
“This isn’t just about Republican versus Democrat or left versus right. We are fighting to keep America America. That’s what this is all about.”
“Joe Biden is now the true Trojan horse for the far-left radical, socialist, Marxist wing of the Democrat party,” Trump alleged. “The way he wants to transform this country would be an unrecognizable America.”
Trump shared her pride in being an American and wanting her children to grow up feeling that same sense of honor.
“We should be celebrating America and the opportunities that we are afforded here every day, the freedoms that you can find in no other country on the face of the planet. We have them right here at home and we have to fight for them because we know freedom isn’t free,” Trump said.
Following applause and recognition for the veterans and law enforcement officers in attendance, Trump called out the importance of safety and security, naming Donald Trump a “law and order president” and promising he would never defund the police.
“We will defend the police in this country because let’s face it, these people go out every single day. They don’t know whether or not they are coming home at the end of the day to their families, but they do it because they love this country and they want to protect the freedoms we have,” Trump said.
Following the speech, Pete Palestina, a Northampton Township resident, said he felt Trump’s campaign message was a positive one, filled with what he called “true hope.”
“These aren’t the best of times, but things are getting better, they’re looking up and they will be great again under this president,” Palestina said.
Linda Mitchell, of Upper Southampton and supporter of the president, said she walked away feeling as though she, as a woman, counted to the Republican party under Trump’s leadership.
“Everything she said, to me as a woman, made me feel that we are all important—man, woman, child, whatever,” Mitchell said. “As someone who has been around since the 1950s, I felt that I’m regaining my country again. Under his leadership, we are regaining our strength and our foundation of America as a true democracy that is supportive of all the people. And his ability to cut through all the bureaucracy and the red tape and improve the way our country is running gives me hope for the future.”
Adding to Mitchell’s sentiments, Jim Worthington, owner of the Newtown Athletic Club and founder of political group People4Trump, said garnering the support of women voters is pivotal and he feels having Lara Trump speak on Donald Trump’s behalf will make a difference come November.
“The more she gets out in Pennsylvania and around the country, the more the suburban women will see that there are a lot of smart people and women that support him,” Worthington said. “The key to this election is going to be the suburban, white educated female. And if more of them come to the side of supporting the president, he’ll win.”
Speaking from a former-steel-mill-turned-hub-of-industry on Monday afternoon across the state in Pittsburgh, Joe Biden, the president’s Democratic opponent, painted his campaign as one that will mark a return to normalcy. He said the president mishandled the pandemic, called the president “toxic,” and announced a vote for the former vice president would help bring the country together.
