Launching a scathing attack on opposition party and Biden and his running mate California senator Kamala Harris, he urged Republican supporters to help re-elect his far.

“And when we win, we can t only make ‘America Great Again’, but also we can make ‘liberals cry again’,” he told hundreds of cheering supporters in this small city of Wisconsin on Tuesday.

Trump Jr has been campaigning across states, making multiple stops seeking vote for his far. Like his far, his talking points remains same such as achievement of Trump ministration, COVID-19, corruption and left liberals that w dominate Democratic Party.

“Our freedom is under attack. Democratic Party used to represent hard-working men and women across country. That Party is more. That party is gone. We think of things that y're pushing se days. What or than socialism and Marxism? What are ir priorities? It's t that hard-working men and women of this country.

“This is t your grand-parents Democratic Party. This is t your parents Democratic Party. It’s a party of AOC (Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez ), Rasheeda Talib, Nancy Pelosi and Kamala Harris. Who's going to be in charge folks. You realise y want to use Joe Biden as camoufl,” he ded.
