President Trump Campaigns In Prescott, Tucson

President Trump made two stops in Arizona on Monday. Trump was greeted by huge crowds of supporters in Prescott before heading to Tucson.

Trump encouraged the crowd at the Prescott airport to fill out absentee ballots despite previously casting doubt on the vote-by-mail process.

The president attacked his opponent, Joe Biden, saying the former vice president would let radical elements of the Democrat Party control his agenda. Trump told the crowds he would protect the issues they hold dear. “We will uphold religious liberty, free speech, and the right to keep and bear arm," Trump said.

Trump spoke for over an hour at Prescott, encouraging his supporters to vote for Senator Martha McSally, who he said would help him continue to deliver conservative justices to the Supreme Court.

Despite increasing COVID-19 numbers in many states, Trump told the crowd that the country was turning a corner on the pandemic.
