Grand Rapids, United States: Donald Trump is set to hold a triumphant first campaign rally Saturday since surviving an assassination attempt, in startling contrast to President Joe Biden, who remains hunkered at home with Covid, resisting unprecedented Democratic pressure to step aside.
As Trump prepared to descend on battleground Michigan to stump with his vice presidential running mate J.D. Vance for the first time, Biden loyalists continued to defend the embattled president.
"I'm all in," Michigan Senator Debbie Stabenow said in a call Saturday with reporters ahead of the Republicans' rally in her state.
She predicted that Trump and Vance would "try to rewrite history and pretend to care about working people," but then added dismissively, "Give me a break."
The president and his team have remained publicly adamant about his plans to continue campaigning -- a spokesman said Saturday that Biden would be back on the trail "next week" -- though some reports suggest discussions have begun in his inner circle about how exactly he might step aside.
