Trump latest news: Trump says Biden has been ‘worst president’ in US history as Vance calls for full resignation

Trump formally accepts Republican presidential nomination at RNC

Donald Trump slammed Joe Biden on Sunday, after the Democrat announced he will drop out of the 2024 campaign.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump argued Biden “was not fit to run for President, and is certainly not fit to serve.”

“We will suffer greatly because of his presidency, but we will remedy the damage he has done very quickly,” Trump added.

JD Vance, Trump’s running mate, has called on Biden to withdraw from the White House, too.

Trump has enjoyed a projected rise in support after the recent assassination attempt against him, according to a new poll, which shows his favorability rating climbing to about 40 percent.

The news comes after Trump appeared on Saturday alongside JD Vance for a campaign rally, the pair’s first joint appearance since the Ohio senator was unveiled as Trump’s running mate at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Is Trump’s age a weakness against a potential Harris campaign?

With Donald Trump now potentially facing Kamala Harris in November, some speculated his age, 78, may be a handicap as he will likely face a younger Democratic opponent.

As Dave Wasserman from the Cook Political Report, notes, Republicans haven’t fared well in recent presidential elections against younger Dems.

JD Vance calls on Biden to withdraw

JD Vance wants Biden to go beyond just dropping out of the 2024 presidential election.

The Republican VP nominee said on Sunday if the Democratic president was out of the campaign, he should withdraw from the White House as well.

“If Joe Biden ends his reelection campaign, how can he justify remaining President?” Vance wrote on X. “Not running for reelection would be a clear admission that President Trump was right all along about Biden not being mentally fit enough to serve as Commander-in-Chief. There is no middle ground.”

Trump backer Elon Musks mocks Biden for dropping out of 2024 race

In recent days, Elon Musk has emerged as one of the most influential voices throwing support behind the Trump 2024 campaign.

Following the announcement that Biden was withdrawing from the presidential election, Musk reacted with amusement, posting a crying laughing emoji in response to a satirical news article that Jill Biden was dropping out of the presidential race.

Musk later elaborated with a more sincere appraisal of the race, claiming in a post on X, “My smartest friends, including those living in the San Francisco Bay Area who have been lifelong Dems, are excited about Trump/Vance.”

“I believe in an America that maximizes individual freedom and merit,” Musk wrote. “That used to be the Democratic Party, but now the pendulum has swung to the Republican Party.”

Donald Trump Jr claims Harris ‘more liberal and less competent’ than Biden

The second chapter of the 2024 campaign has officially begun.

With Biden announcing he’ll pull out of the race, the Trump campaign immediately leapt into attack mode on his likely replacement, Vice-President Kamala Harris.

“Kamala Harris owns the entire leftwing policy record of Joe Biden,” Donald Trump Jr wrote on X on Sunday. “The only difference is that she is even more liberal and less competent than Joe, which is really saying something. She was put in charge of the border and we saw the worst invasion of illegals in our history!!!”

Read Donald Trump’s full statement on Joe Biden’s 2024 decision

Donald Trump has no love lost for his now-former 2024 opponent, Joe Biden, who announced on Sunday he’s withdrawing from the presidential race.

Trump unloaded on the Democrat in a post on Truth Social.

Here are the former president’s full remarks:

Crooked Joe Biden was not fit to run for President, and is certainly not fit to serve – And never was! He only attained the position of President by lies, Fake News, and not leaving his Basement. All those around him, including his Doctor and the Media, knew that he wasn’t capable of being President, and he wasn’t – And now, look what he’s done to our Country, with millions of people coming across our Border, totally unchecked and unvetted, many from prisons, mental institutions, and record numbers of terrorists. We will suffer greatly because of his presidency, but we will remedy the damage he has done very quickly. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

Man claims he saw Trump shooter at firing range before assassination attempt

A Pennsylvania man said he attended a firearms training class in late June alongside Thomas Matthew Crooks, the would-be assassin whose bullet grazed Donald Trump at a rally in the state last week.

“I was sitting next to real evil there, it really scares me,” Bill Jenkins told The Sun.

Jenkins, a computer programmer and Air Force veteran, said he has spoken to the FBI about his experience.

He described Crooks as a crack shot, and says he believed he saw the 20-year-old gunman smirk when conversation in the class turned to participants praising Donald Trump.

“Looking back, I think he was biting his tongue. Nothing we discussed will have sat well with him,” he added.

“It’s crossed my mind — did that conversation help push him over the edge?”

Trump may want Joe Biden to stay in the race, but Joe Manchin doesn’t

The Trump campaign reportedly wants Joe Biden to stay in the 2024 presidential race, viewing him as a favorable matchup.

That, somehow, makes Donald Trump more supportive of Joe Biden than many mainstream Democrats.

Senator Joe Manchin just became the third member of the Democratic caucus in the upper chamber to call on Joe Biden to step aside.

No longer officially a Democrat himself, Manchin is retiring at the end of this year rather than seek re-election. His seat in deep-red West Virginia is thought to be a likely pickup for Republicans, led by their nominee Jim Justice.

“I came to the decision with a heavy heart that it’s time to pass the torch to a new generation,” said the West Virginia senator.
