Riding high after a triumphant convention that formalized Donald Trump as the Republican Party\u2019s White House nominee, the ex-president returns to the campaign trail Saturday for his first rally since narrowly escaping assassination.<\/p>\n
As Trump descends on Michigan to stump in public with his freshly announced vice-presidential running mate J.D. Vance for the first time, Joe Biden\u2019s campaign is grappling with an internal Democratic Party revolt from senior lawmakers and donors calling on the 81-year-president to quit the race.
\nBiden is currently off the campaign trail nursing a case of Covid while he and his inner circle engage in political firefighting, as party stalwarts warn that by remaining on the ticket Biden could lead Democrats to defeat of the White House and both chambers of Congress.
\nTeam Trump for its part is effervescent. The Republican National Convention went off without a hitch, and the candidate\u2019s mission of demonstrating absolute control over the party and firing up his base appears accomplished.
\nSaturday\u2019s rally will occur inside Van Andel\u2019s arena, an enclosed 12,000-capacity sports facility that allows more complete control of a perimeter.
\nBut security nevertheless is expected to be extra tight around Trump in the wake of the most egregious Secret Service failure in decades.
\nHe also makes his debut campaign appearance with vice presidential pick Vance, a US senator from Ohio who, at 39, is literally half Trump\u2019s age and could appeal to younger voters.
\nMost polls show Trump on course for a return to the Oval Office.
\nMore than 30 House Democrats and four senators have now called on Biden to drop out, and several senior party luminaries including Barack Obama have reportedly urged the president to reconsider his decision to stay in the race.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
