Imagery from the assassination attempt on Donald Trump is already prevalent at the former president’s first campaign rally since the shooting one week ago in Pennsylvania. Many supporters are wearing shirts featuring the image of Trump holding his fist in the air and telling his voters to “fight” as Secret Service agents rushed him from the stage.
Outside the venue in Grand Rapids, Michigan, merchandise tables are selling shirts to attendees waiting in the long lines to funnel into the indoor arena. The shirts with Trump's image and the word 'fight' have become popular among the rally-goers.
“Fight, fight, fight,” has become a new rallying cry for Republicans in the wake of the assassination attempt. The intense atmosphere at the rally reflects the heightened emotions and political tensions in the current climate.
The event is currently underway, with Trump’s newly selected running mate, Ohio Sen. JD Vance, making his debut appearance at an official Trump-Vance rally. The presence of Senator Vance adds a new dynamic to the rally, as the duo aims to energize their supporters and convey a message of strength and unity.
