NOW: Trump holds rally in Mississippi
President Trump just took the stage at his rally in Southaven, Mississippi, to chants of "USA! USA!" He told the crowd 2020 was looking to be easy, then launched into a list of his accomplishments, touching on the economy, veterans and America's military.
Just 24 hours ago, here's how Trump's last rally played out
President Trump held a rally in Tennessee last night. He was there to stump for GOP Rep. Marsha Blackburn, who is running for race against Democrat Phil Bredesen.
Here's what happened:
- He started with the economy: President Trump opened his remarks in Tennessee touting the success of the US economy and the record stock market.
- Then, he attacked Democrats: President Trump declared that "Democrats are the party of crime," saying they support open borders.
- He defended Kavanaugh: Trump said his Supreme Court nominee "is a good man, great student, great intellect." He also criticized the allegations against him: "All of a sudden let's go back to high school."
- He stumped for Blackburn: Trump declared, "She is all about Tennessee values. She has Tennessee values. A vote for Marsha is a vote for me, and everything we stand for and a vote to make America great again."
5 things Trump could bring up at tonight's rally
Trump arrives to speak during a rally in Tennessee on Monday
President Trump is in Southaven, Mississippi, for his second rally of the week. He held an event in Tennessee last night, and he'll have more on Thursday and Saturday in Minnesota and Kansas, respectively.
Trump's week of rallies comes as news in Washington centers around Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh and trade deals.
Here are some topics the President might bring up tonight:
- Brett Kavanaugh: The President has repeatedly and vocally defended his Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, who is under FBI investigation after being accused of sexually assaulting a woman when they were both in high school. He'll likely continue his support for Kavanaugh tonight.
- Senate Democrats: In the wake of the Kavanaugh investigation, Trump has blamed the Democrats for delaying his conformation process and has attacked them for their "anger" toward the judge. Watch for Trump to keep up that criticism.
- Trade: President Trump announced a three-country trade agreement with Mexico and Canada yesterday. He might talk about it and the intensive negotiations it took to seal the deal.
- The first lady's solo trip: Melania Trump is in Africa this week, visiting Ghana, Malawi, Kenya and Egypt. Trump, speaking to reporters this afternoon, said her trip is going well, and he could give more details about it tonight.
- The Nobel Peace Prize: The 2018 honor will be awarded on Friday. We're not sure if Trump will get it — but he's certainly talked about receiving it.
