Description
Former President Trump was flanked by popular grocery store items, including instant coffee, sugary breakfast cereals and pastries, laid out on tables as he highlighted the cost of everything from food to car insurance to housing. Trump took questions from reporters after the campaign itself was transformed by President Joe Biden's decision to end his reelection campaign and endorse Harris.
Trump is arguing that his presidency brought more national unity than he gets credit for and that he is not actually as brash or bombastic as he often seems on the campaign trail. "I think I'm doing a very calm campaign," he said after being asked about some criticism from Republicans who want him to focus less on personal attacks. "Some of you will say, 'he ranted and raved,'" Trump said, referring to journalists. "I'm a very calm person, believe it or not."
Trump says he'd welcome Nikki Haley on the campaign trail if she wanted to stump for him. Asked if he would want Haley to rally support for him, Trump said, "I'd love to have her go around and campaign."
The former South Carolina governor, who was the last remaining GOP opponent against Trump in the primary campaign and served two years as his administration's ambassador to the United Nations, shuttered her campaign after Trump's big wins on Super Tuesday. She didn't endorse Trump immediately but has since and spoke at last month's RNC in Milwaukee in support of his candidacy. Otherwise, she has not campaigned for him.
