A recent rally in Prescott Valley, Arizona saw the definitive backing of the National Border Patrol Council for former President Trump. Trump conveyed his gratitude to the gathered crowd, acknowledging the unanimous endorsement from the border patrol union as a tremendous honour. He added that this endorsement was drawn from the collective voice of thousands. In attendance, Paul Perez, the president of the aforementioned council, was invited to speak.
Perez took the stage with a clear message for the audience. He painted a vivid picture of the negative potential outcomes should the existing border manager, symbolised by Vice President Harris, win the upcoming electoral contest. He portrayed a grim future characterized by community decline across the nation.
Perez pulled no punches, detailing concerns about unchecked immigration under VP Harris’ oversight. He expressed worry about the unidentified influx of individuals allowed into the nation who pose a potential criminal threat to the country’s security, involved in serious crimes such as murder, robbery, and the likes.
Perez’s belief that the border’s security can only be retrieved under Trump’s leadership was apparent. He highlighted Trump’s long-standing support for those on the front line, those who risk their lives in safeguarding the nation’s border. Asserting that the former President represents the best hope for course correction, he urged the audience to weigh this consideration for the upcoming November elections.
The National Border Patrol Council’s President then introduced a choice to the assemblage. He stated that the unrest could persist, allowing criminal cartels free rein over the border and the associated drug and fentanyl influx into the U.S. Or, the public could vote decisively to halt this chaos.
Standing firm behind the full weight of the National Border Patrol Council, and on behalf of its 16,000 represented members, Perez publicly declared their endorsement and support for former President Trump as the next U.S president. Trump reverberated the sentiment by acknowledging the council as an incredible group, and renewed his promise of unwavering support.
The rally wasn’t merely an endorsement announcement though, as Trump capitalized on the opportunity to rally for electoral support in Arizona – a crucial state for the election outcome. Throughout, he took jabs at his political rival, Vice President Harris, promising to keep the U.S military free from the influence of ‘wokeness’.
Keeping the event engaging, Trump introduced a video screening from Stanley Kubrick’s acclaimed film, ‘Full Metal Jacket’. The footage highlighted a memorable performance by the late R. Lee Ermey, featuring him in an iconic drill sergeant role. The video, however, took an unexpected turn with a shout-out to ‘Pride Month’.
Further in his speech, Trump discussed his stance on the renaming of military bases. He then proceeded to ensure his dedication to curtailing violent crime and standing by law enforcement agencies.
With the rallying in Arizona, Trump expressed his intention to keep campaigning with fervor until November 5 – the Election Day. As per a recent Wall Street Journal poll, the competition appeared neck-and-neck between Trump and Harris across seven pivotal battleground states. This lack of clear dominance prompted a Democratic pollster to comment on the 2024 election’s possible razor-thin margin.
This statewide survey, which included opinion from 600 registered voters per state, took place from September 28 to October 8. Notably, the findings indicated a statistical tie in North Carolina and Wisconsin, both seen as key states. A marginal lead for Harris in Arizona and Georgia was recorded, closely followed by Michigan.
Despite the race seeming balanced, the surveyed states of Nevada and Pennsylvania showed Trump leading, with Pennsylvania indicating only a marginal lead. Contrasting these two states, Nevada was where Trump had the era of his largest triumph in these battleground states.
On the subject of policy trust, the surveyed voters, expressing varying preferences, showed mixed sentiment. While they leaned towards Trump for the country’s economic handling, inflation issues, and border security, they tilted towards VP Harris for their faith in housing affordability, abortion, healthcare, and a caring presence in the Oval Office.
