WASHINGTON (NEXSTAR) – Former president Donald Trump held his first public campaign event in Michigan Tuesday night. It comes just days after an armed man apparently made an attempt on his life over the weekend. Vice President Kamala Harris was also on the trail in the battleground state of Pennsylvania.
The vice president spoke to Trump about Sunday’s incident.
“Only consequential presidents get shot at right,” said Trump.
Trump returned to the campaign trail Tuesday night for the first time since Sunday’s apparent assassination attempt at his West Palm Beach golf club.
“But we have to take back our country. We have to win. We’re going to win,” said Trump.
Trump took part in a town hall in the battleground state of Michigan and talked about his plans for the number one issue for voters: the economy.
“My ambition, to get your energy bill within 12 months, down 50%,” said Trump.
In the also crucial state of Pennsylvania, Vice President Harris stopped by a voter registration training center in Philadelphia to speak with young voters.
“Every issue that is at play in this election is going to directly impact you,” said Harris.
Harris said Trump is stoking fear in Springfield, Ohio with his false claims about Haitian immigrants there, including that they’re stealing and eating pets.
“It’s a crying shame,” said Harris.
At a forum for black journalists in Pennsylvania Tuesday Harris touted her plan the economy.
“Opportunity economy where all people have access to the resources to compete,” Harris said.
Harris will be speaking to Hispanic voters Wednesday and Trump will hold a rally in New York.
