Former President Donald Trump reignited his campaign efforts with a rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday, aiming to solidify support in a critical battleground state as recent polls show Kamala Harris gaining traction in swing states.

At the rally, Trump warned of economic catastrophe if he loses, stating, "The stock market is only up because they think I'm going to win. If I lose, you will have a 1929-style depression." He also criticised Harris for her stance on energy policies, claiming her anti-fracking and anti-drilling positions would "ruin" Pennsylvania.

Trump claimed he could resolve international conflicts, including issues in the Middle East, with a few well-placed phone calls. His remarks also included attacks on Harris's appearance and laugh, with Trump saying, "I am much better looking than her," in a bid to undermine her appeal.

The former president’s comments come amid his ongoing campaign and as he faces increased competition from Harris. The US presidential election is scheduled for November 5. Trump, nominated by the Republican Party on July 15, continues to address key issues and challenges posed by his opponent.

Kamala Harris, who became the Democratic nominee on August 15 after President Joe Biden withdrew from the race on July 21, is seen as a formidable challenger. Biden’s exit followed concerns about his health and a poor performance in a debate against Trump.
