Amid a bruising Senate impeachment trial, the president shared a stage in Wildwood with Rep. Jeff Van Drew, who ditched Democrats for the GOP.
WILDWOOD, N.J. — Hours after his legal defense team delivered closing arguments in the impeachment trial, and just as news emerged that Senate Republicans don’t yet have the votes to block likely damning testimony from former White House adviser John Bolton, President Donald Trump stepped on stage at the Wildwoods Convention Center to an adoring crowd of thousands.Although New Jersey is a blue state, 58% of voters here in Cape May County voted for the president in 2016.
That the president abused his power in this way is at the heart of the ongoing Senate impeachment trial. On Tuesday evening, just as Trump was set to take the stage in Wildwood, news broke that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell told his fellow GOP senators he didn’t have enough votes to block Bolton from testifying at the trial, likely preventing the speedy acquittal the president desired.
This is a false claim the president has made on multiple occasions. “They got their money long before schedule, they got all their money,” Trump said of Ukraine at a recent press conference in Davos, Switzerland. “They wouldn’t even let any cross-examinations go?” Richardson said. “What is that? It’s unbelievable.”
She held a sign listing “actual news outlets” and “other entertaining alternatives with conservative voices” that aren’t “fake news.” Among those outlets she trusts for news are the far-right website Blaze News, and the pro-Trump personalities Diamond and Silk. When Trump ended his rally Tuesday night, he told his supporters that “America is thriving like never before.” “We’ll make America wealthy again,” he said. “We’ll make America strong again. We’ll make America proud again. We’ll make America safe again. And we’ll make America great again!”
