Former President Donald Trump addressed supporters in the scorching heat of Las Vegas, rallying voters ahead of the upcoming election. Despite the soaring temperatures exceeding 100 degrees Fahrenheit (37.8 degrees Celsius), Trump’s campaign ensured the safety of attendees by hiring extra medics, providing fans and water bottles, and allowing supporters to carry umbrellas.
During his speech, Trump appeared irritable with malfunctioning teleprompters but maintained a lighthearted tone, telling supporters to ask for help if needed. “I don’t want anybody going on me. We need every voter. I don’t care about you. I just want your vote,” he remarked, adding that he was joking.
On Sunday, the 77-year-old returned to Nevada, marking his second public rally since the Hush Money Trial case. This comes as the Georgia Court of Appeals decided to put the election subversion conspiracy case against him and several of his co-defendants on hold. This development, announced on Wednesday, could delay any trial proceedings until after the 2024 US presidential election, providing Trump with potential reprieve as he campaigns for a return to the White House. The court’s order halts the case until a panel of judges rules on whether Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis should be disqualified.
