Donald Trump Returns to the Campaign Trail

Former President Holds First Public Rally Since Biden Declines 2024 Matchup

Addressing Longest Convention Speech in Modern History

Former President Donald Trump made his highly anticipated return to the campaign trail on Saturday, holding his first public rally since President Joe Biden dropped out of a potential 2024 matchup. Trump's speech at the Butler County Republican Committee's annual Lincoln Day dinner in Pennsylvania marked the climax and conclusion of the longest convention speech in modern history, clocking in at just under 93 minutes.

Trump's address was met with thunderous applause from his supporters, who cheered him on as he railed against his political opponents and touted his accomplishments as president. He also teased a possible run for office in 2024, saying that he would "very, very, very probably" make an announcement in the near future.

The rally came just days after Trump was the target of an apparent assassination attempt at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania. The Secret Service whisked Trump away from the scene after shots rang out, but he was not harmed. Trump later denounced the incident as a "cowardly attack" and vowed to continue campaigning.

Trump's return to the campaign trail is sure to energize his supporters and add fuel to speculation about his possible 2024 presidential bid. With Vice President Kamala Harris and other potential Democratic candidates also announcing their campaigns, the 2024 presidential race is shaping up to be one of the most closely watched in recent history.
