Former President Donald Trump held a campaign-style rally at Fort Bragg, an active Army base in North Carolina, on Friday, urging troops to vote for Republicans and criticizing Democrats, according to Time. The event, which took place before an audience of uniformed service members, saw Trump share the stage with Michael Whatley, a former Republican National Committee chairman and Senate candidate, while touting his military spending plans and celebrating his restoration of the Fort Bragg name.
The rally included Trump entering the base to Lee Greenwood's "God Bless the USA" and ending with the Village People's "Y.M.C.A.," Time reported. Trump told the troops, "You have to vote for us," highlighting his move to restore the Fort Bragg name after Congress directed the Pentagon to remove names of Confederate figures from military bases.
Meanwhile, drawing from multiple news sources, former President Obama criticized Trump's sharing of a racist video, calling it a "clown show," according to Variety. The report also included details from Juliette Bryant, a survivor of Jeffrey Epstein's trafficking ring, who detailed her recruitment and abuse, emphasizing the psychological manipulation she endured.
In other news, an Israeli airstrike near the Lebanon-Syria border killed at least four people, including a Syrian national, according to the Lebanese Ministry of Public Health, as reported by Al Jazeera. The Israeli military claimed the strike targeted Palestinian Islamic Jihad members, though no evidence was provided, highlighting ongoing tensions and violations despite a ceasefire agreement with Hezbollah.
The upcoming November election in the United States, where the Republican Party currently holds the White House and both houses of Congress, is also a focus of attention, Al Jazeera reported. The analysis features insights from Republican strategist John Feehery and former Democratic National Committee chair Amy Dacey, exploring the impact of Trumpism on both major parties and their respective election prospects.
Additionally, Republican Rep. Thomas Massie expressed a lack of confidence in Attorney General Pam Bondi's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case file release, criticizing her behavior during a House Judiciary Committee hearing, according to ABC News. Massie cited Bondi's use of insults, avoidance of Epstein survivors, and lack of accountability as reasons for his disapproval.
