Former President Donald Trump held a rally in Pennsylvania where he attacked Democratic leaders for their response to Hurricane Helene, baselessly claimed the party was trying to steal the election, and criticized Vice President Kamala Harris for supporting taxpayer funding for gender transition care for immigrants. The rally featured a speech by Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who issued apocalyptic warnings and encouraged people to vote. The event took place at the same venue where Trump was shot and nearly assassinated in July, with the shooter killed on site. Trump praised law enforcement and held a moment of silence for the victim of the shooting. Other speakers at the rally included Trump’s daughter-in-law Lara Trump and Ohio Sen. JD Vance, who condemned Democrats for calling Trump a threat to democracy. Trump also discussed the federal response to Hurricane Helene, fracking, and the potential sale of U.S. Steel to a Japanese company. He predicted that negative reports would be published about him and Vance in the coming month. Trump praised wealthy benefactors present at the rally and described his vision for the American dream, referencing Elon Musk.
