Speaking to thousands of his supporters in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, Trump accused Biden of using the FBI as a weapon against him.
Trump said the search made at his house, USA He claimed it was “the most shocking abuse of power” by any administration in its history.
Dr. Mehmet Öz is vying to enter the US Senate, and Senator Doug Mastriano is vying to become the new governor of Pennsylvania. At the rally, where both spoke briefly, Trump spoke for nearly two hours.
Trump, 76, criticized the FBI search in his home in the first part of his speech. FBI agents who conducted the search found dozens of blank files titled “confidential” in Trump’s personal office.
Trump, who has been accused of improperly retaining classified records, denies the charges. Trump repeated allegations that the 2020 election was stolen from him, apart from a search of his home at the Pennsylvania rally, attacked the Democratic Party and promised to “save the country”.

Trump has also called for the death penalty for drug dealers several times. The former President is currently in legal trouble with federal authorities over classified documents the FBI has seized.
The administration is accused of taking White House documents, some of which read “top secret”, from Trump and hiding them in his Florida home. Federal prosecutors say Trump may have blocked an investigation into the documents in his possession.
Trump had previously described investigations against him as “witch hunts,” and he did the same at this rally. Trump described the FBI’s search of his home as “shameless raid on my house in Mar-a-Lago”, “parody”.
“We are under attack by the FBI and the Department of Justice. It wasn’t just my home that was raided. Every citizen whose hopes and dreams I’ve fought for since I stepped off the golden elevator in 2015 and wanted to represent the public has been raided,” Trump said, citing his personal legal issues as attacks on his supporters. .

STRATEGIC VISIT TO PENNSYLVANIA
Trump doesn’t have a name on the ballot paper in Pennsylvania, but Trumpism certainly does. Trump, who personally chose the famous doctor Mehmet Öz, the Senate candidate, also supports the conspiracy theorist Mastriano, who won the primary elections by surprise.
The candidates’ performances in the midterm elections in November will demonstrate the strength of Trump’s support and political ideology. The result may have implications for the 2024 elections. Trump has yet to announce a new presidential campaign, but he left the door open.
If his candidates win, it will be seen as a sign of Trump’s dominance over the Republican electorate. But if they win, Trump’s Republican opponents in 2024 will start to think they have a White House chance.

BOTH PARTY EYES ARE ON PENNSYLVANIA
The state is also vital to Democrats’ hopes. The party wants to send Deputy Governor John Fetterman to the Senate.
The gubernatorial race also became more important after Mastriano won the Republican primary by an overwhelming majority. Mastriano participated in the attack on the American Congress on January 6, 2021 and played a key role in efforts to cancel the 2020 election results in Pennsylvania.
The Democrats, on the other hand, brought up the state’s attorney general, Josh Shapiro. Biden also held several rallies in the state for support.
On Saturday, Mr Trump called Mr Biden’s address the most “vicious hateful and divisive speech ever delivered by an American president”.
