Rural America deserves a President that serves the interests of families in the Heartland and empowers them to be the most successful and prosperous versions of themselves. President Trump has proven that he will fight for rural Americans, stand up to China, support our farmers, ensure fair trade deals for workers, and defend our ideals across the globe.

Rural America is ready to help get vice president Kamala Harris elected to the White House! Together, we aren’t going to sit around and let the MAGA crowd bully our neighbors and continue to let stereotypes that Trump and JD Vance perpetuate go unanswered or unchecked about our strong rural communities … The Trump Republicans have weird obsessions and outdated ideas about our reproductive health, public schools, immigrants, and veterans. We know our towns better than the consultants propping up Vance and Trump and that is why we endorse Kamala AND are committed to turning out 5% more rural voters for Democrats up and down the ballot!

NABJ President Ken Lemon told the media:
[Trump’s team] “Well, can we not fact-check it? If we fact-check it, he won’t be allowed on stage.”
There were indeed audio issues that Trump blamed for the delay, but the issues were “resolved very quickly,” he said.
“The bigger issue is that he agreed to be on stage and then he threatened not to be on stage. He didn’t want to be fact-checked, but we couldn’t let him on stage without being fact-checked,” Lemon added.
He added that because the delay had dragged on, he was prepared to take the stage himself and make a statement about why Trump had refused to take the stage to fact-check.
Axios reported that Trump appeared on stage as Lemon was drafting the statement.
Meanwhile, Trump campaign spokesman Steven Chang told the outlet on Friday that NABJ “waited nearly 40 minutes” to resolve audio and technical issues.
