Donald Trump appeared alongside JD Vance for a campaign rally on Saturday, the pair’s first joint appearance since the Ohio senator was unveiled as Trump’s running mate at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee , Wisconsin .

The campaign event kicked off at 5pm local time in Grand Rapids, Michigan, a crucial swing state that Trump won in 2016 and Biden clawed back in the 2020 presidential election.

From the stage, Trump praised tech billionaire Elon Musk for supporting him and pushed back against claims a Trump 2024 campaign is a threat to democracy, while reflecting on the recent assassination attempt against him at a Pennsylvania campaign rally.

“Last week I took a bullet for democracy,” he said. “What did I do against democracy?”

The former president has criticized the Secret Service for not warning him about the shooter, who was spotted by law enforcement minutes before shots rang out.
