在他10天来的第一次竞选集会上，前总统唐纳德·特朗普抓住了不确定性乔·拜登总统的这为拜登提供了一个通过两个提议“救赎”自己的机会:参加本周的另一场辩论和一场高尔夫球赛。
“所以今晚，我正式向乔提供在全世界面前挽回自己的机会，”特朗普在佛罗里达州特朗普国家多拉尔高尔夫球场对集会人群说。“让我们在本周进行另一场辩论，让昏昏欲睡的乔·拜登向全世界证明，他有能力成为总统，但这一次将是一对一的辩论，没有主持人。”
这位前总统还提到了两位总统候选人之间的一个值得注意的时刻第一次在2024年竞选周期的辩论舞台上交锋上个月还邀请拜登参加高尔夫比赛。
拜登-哈里斯竞选发言人詹姆斯·辛格立即驳回了这一建议，称其为“怪异的滑稽动作”
随着越来越多的民主党人开始公开呼吁拜登放弃竞选连任，特朗普淡化了如果拜登决定辞去被提名人职务，他将不得不面对不同的民主党候选人的挑战，认为没有人能够打败他。
他说:“尽管本周民主党人心惶惶，但事实是他们提名谁并不重要，因为我们会以压倒性优势击败他们中的任何一个人。”。
川普在演讲中还花了大量时间攻击副总统卡玛拉·哈里斯，因为有传言说她可能会在选举中取代拜登。
“你必须承认他做出了一个明智的决定，这可能是他做过的最聪明的决定。他选择卡玛拉·哈里斯作为他的副总统，”他说。“如果乔选了一个能力差强人意的人。几年前他们就会把他赶下台，但他们做不到，因为她肯定是他们的第二选择。”
这位前总统通过哈里斯作为参议员和副总统的记录，将她描绘成一个“社会主义者”。
周二晚上的集会是特朗普的小儿子巴伦的第一次，他在人群中介绍了他。
“这是他第一次这么做。那是第一次吧?”川普要求巴伦·特朗普站起来称赞他，说他“可能比唐和埃里克更受欢迎。”
与此同时，前第一夫人梅兰妮·特朗普昨晚在纽约州举行了一场亲特朗普的性少数群体集团木屋共和党人筹款活动，显然没有出席。她在这个周期还没有参加特朗普的竞选政治集会。
特朗普鼓励提前投票，这将在两个月后开始，他告诉他的支持者确保他们的投票被计算在内。
“确保它被计算在内。你能做到的。关注投票结果，因为这些人作弊的方式前所未有。坦率地说，他们不擅长政策，但他们擅长欺骗，”特朗普说。
Trump capitalizes on Biden campaign struggles and proposes another debate, attacks VP Harris
At his first campaign rally in 10 days, former President Donald Trump jumped on the uncertainty ofPresident Joe Biden'scampaign, offering Biden an opportunity to "redeem" himself through two propositions: participating in another debate this week and a golf match.
"So tonight, I'm officially offering Joe the chance to redeem himself in front of the entire world," Trump said to a rally crowd at the Trump National Doral Golf Course in Florida. "Let's do another debate this week so that sleepy Joe Biden can prove to everyone all over the world that he has what it takes to be president, but this time it will be man to man, no moderators."
The former president also gave a nod to a notable moment between the two presidential contenders when theyfirst faced off on the debate stage for the 2024 campaign cyclelast month by also challenging Biden to a golf match.
Biden-Harris campaign spokesperson James Singer immediately shot down that suggestion, calling it "weird antics."
As more Democrats start to publicly call for Biden to drop his reelection bid, Trump downplayed the challenges of having to face a different Democratic candidate if Biden decided to step down as the nominee, arguing that nobody would be able to beat him.
"Despite all the Democrat panic this week, the truth is it doesn't matter who they nominate because we are going to beat any one of them in thundering landslides," he said.
Trump also spent a notable amount of time during his speech attacking Vice President Kamala Harris as conversations flow about her as a potential Biden replacement on the ballot.
"You have to give him credit for one brilliant decision, probably the smartest decision he's ever made. He picked Kamala Harris as his vice president," he said. "If Joe had picked someone even halfway competent. They would have bounced him from office years ago, but they can't because she's got to be their second choice."
The former president painted Harris as a "socialist," going through her record as senator and vice president.
Tuesday night's rally was a first for Trump's youngest son, Barron, whom he introduced in the crowd.
"That's the first time he's done it. That's the first time, right?" Trump said, after asking Barron Trump to stand up and praising him, saying he "might be more popular than Don and Eric."
Meanwhile, former first lady Melania Trump -- who held a pro-Trump LGBTQ group Log Cabin Republicans’ fundraiser in New York last night -- was notably not in attendance. She has yet to attend a Trump campaign political rally this cycle.
As Trump encouraged early voting, which will kick off in two months, he told his supporters to make sure their votes were counted.
"Make sure that it gets counted. You can do that. Follow that vote because these people cheat like nobody's ever cheated before. Frankly, they're no good at policy, but they're good at cheating," Trump said.
