Trump counters Biden with law-and-order message in Midwest

President Donald Trump zeroed in on Midwest battleground states on Monday with a tough, law and order mess to counterprogram former Vice President Joe Biden's show at Democrats' national convention.

In Minneapolis, Trump's first stop of day, President stepped up his rhetoric against Biden.

“I’m here to help you. We will bring back law and order to your community. We will bring it back and we will bring it back immediately," Trump told supporters as he arrived in Minneapolis, where George Floyd, a 46-year-old Black man, died in May in police custody.

On tarmac, Trump dressed about 150 supporters — half of m wearing masks — who chanted “Four More Years.”

Trump told m that Democrats will be taking away constitutional amendment to bear arms.

Trump was visiting Minnesota and Wisconsin on Monday, latter official host state of entirely virtual Democratic National Convention, to launch a week of travel and political events aiming to blunt customary polling “bounce” that a candidate gets during ir convention week. president trails in both public and private surveys less than three months before Election Day.

On Tuesday, Trump will take on Biden over his immigration policies during a visit to Yuma, Arizona. He is also set to travel to Pennsylvania, state of Biden's birth, on Thursday, ahe of Democrat's acceptance speech.

Trump's aggressive push comes as his path to reelection has narrowed since coronavirus hit, and he's been forced to play defense in states that carried him to reelection four years ago. Minnesota, viewed as a GOP pickup opportunity a year ago, w appears to be slipping out of reach, Republicans say.
