• Trump’s Rally: Former President Donald Trump spoke at a campaign rally at Saginaw Valley State University in Michigan.
• 2024 Election Theme: The January 6, 2021, Capitol attack and Trump’s role in the 2020 election subversion have become central themes in the 2024 presidential campaign.
• Unplanned Focus: The focus on these issues emerged coincidentally and it’s uncertain how long they will remain central or influence voters.
• High Stakes: Many voters see the stakes of the 2024 election as particularly consequential due to these issues.

Trump found the perfect sycophant in JD “John Boy” Vance (T-OH) as candidate V.P. Trump’s first question was probably “Are you great at lying?”; the second was more than likely, “Can you answer a question by not answering the question?”
