Hi there,

In this chaotic news cycle it may be tempting to tune out, but we hope you won’t—only an informed and engaged public can defend democracy. In these times of deep political polarization we need news that goes beyond play-by-play headlines, news that goes to the heart of each story by asking people to tell their own stories of abuses of power and injustice in their own words. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Trump Launches 2020 Presidential Bid at Florida Rally

HeadlineJun 19, 2019

Back in the United States, President Trump kicked off his 2020 presidential bid with a “Keep America Great” rally in Orlando, Florida, Tuesday evening. Trump again attacked immigrants, his 2016 opponent Hillary Clinton, CNN and Democratic lawmakers, accusing them of “flood[ing] the country with illegal immigrants.” Democratic Congressmember David Cicilline tweeted that it was a “hate rally.” In his response to the rally, 2020 presidential candidate Bernie Sanders called Trump a racist, a sexist and a xenophobe, and accused him of neglecting climate change, gun violence and inequality.
