"Key Insights from Trump's 2024 Campaign Kickoff Rally in Waco"

Former President Donald Trump held his first major campaign stop of the 2024 presidential race in Waco, Texas, where he railed against the Biden administration, his likely top GOP opponent in 2024, and the legal woes he faces. Trump focused less on what he would do for America as president and more on what America could do for him. He attacked the Manhattan district attorney's office and denied having an affair with adult film star Stormy Daniels. Trump promised to be an agent of "retribution" if re-elected as president and told the crowd at one point: "Either the deep state destroys America or we destroy the deep state." Trump also made his most public attack on his biggest political threat, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, whom he criticized for being a "disciple" of former House Speaker Paul Ryan.
