incumbent US President was propelled to power after 2016 Presidential elections, where he beat Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton to secure a clear majority.
2016 Presidential polls, however, were marred with allegations against Trump campaign's alleged collusion with Russians, which was proved to be untrue through Special Counsel Robert Mueller's extensive investigations which recently culminated. Even though he has claimed to bring good to United States during his Presidential tenure, calls for Trump's impeachment have been rampant among Democrats.
While re has only been one clear candidate for Presidential polls from Republicans' side, scores of Democrats have launched ir campaigns, including former Vice President Joe Biden. In fact, opinion polls project Biden to be a front runner as Democrats' candidate for 2020 polls, with Bernie Sanders trailing behind.
During Tuesday's rally, Trump targeted Democrats in his speech.
"Our rical Democrat opponents are driven by hatred prejudice and r. y want to destroy you and y want to destroy our country as we kw it. t acceptable. It's t going to happen," he said.
