Trump Makes YUGE Last-Minute Change Hours Before RNC Speech

Former President Donald Trump is set to conclude the Republican National Convention on Thursday night with a speech where he will accept the party’s presidential nomination.

In an interview with the Washington Examiner, Trump mentioned that his speech has undergone significant changes. Following a close call with an assassination attempt last Saturday at a Pennsylvania rally, Trump will now deliver a message emphasizing national unity and solidarity.

“The speech I was going to give on Thursday was going to be a humdinger,” Trump remarked. “Had this not happened, this would’ve been one of the most incredible speeches,” primarily focusing on President Joe Biden's policies. “Honestly, it’s going to be a whole different speech now.”

CNN’s Abby Phillips and pollster Frank Luntz discussed the speech and the immense enthusiasm witnessed at the RNC this week.

“Assassination attempt, Donald Trump is now set to take the stage here at the RNC tonight. Republican candidate, presidential nominee for the third straight time. Let‘s discuss this now with pollster and communications strategist Frank Luntz. Frank, it‘s been a couple of days after this really horrific event for not just Donald Trump, but the country. Are you seeing an impact of the assassination attempt and also now three going, on four straight days of a convention in which Republicans are really, really unified I‘ve never seen a convention like this,” Phillips inquired.

“African Americans, working women, union members. There are people on stage that I‘m not used to seeing. I‘ve been attending conventions since 1988. I‘ve never seen this before. Republicans literally dancing and the one thing I have to advise people is Republicans should not do it is what it is right now, I‘m also looking at the challenges on the Democratic side. Yes. Biden run or not, is the vice president ready to step up?” Luntz responded.

“And I‘m still concerned about the health and safety of our democracy, about whether or not it‘s safe and secure, about whether people believe the votes will be counted, whether they believe that their voice is being heard and I‘m hoping that tonight‘s speech is one that Trump has communicated, unity, coming together, working together if we get that kind of speech, this will have been a very successful convention. And then it‘ll be up to the Democrats to follow suit,” Luntz added.

This occurs as a staggering 72 percent of voters think Biden should not seek a second term, an increase of nine points since February.

A recent CBS News/YouGov poll underscores voters' concerns regarding Biden’s ability to complete his term.

This survey will be among the first post-debate polls Democratic strategists and donors will analyze to gauge the impact of Biden’s debate performance on his campaign.

Among Democrats, 46 percent believe Biden should not run for a second term, a rise of 10 points since February. When asked why Biden should not run, respondents cited:

–His age: 86 percent

–Decisions he might make in office: 71 percent

–His record as president: 66 percent

–Ability to campaign effectively: 59 percent

Additionally, seventy-two percent of voters express doubt over Biden's “mental” and “cognitive health” to serve, up from 65 percent since June 9.

“After the debate, some Democratic officials reportedly said Joe Biden should step aside as the nominee and give another Democrat a chance to run for president in 2024. That idea resonates with nearly half the nation’s rank-and-file Democrats,” CBS reported.

“That’s related to perceptions of Mr. Biden’s health: Democrats who don’t think Mr. Biden has the mental and cognitive health to serve are more likely to say he shouldn’t be the nominee. And that former number has increased among Democrats. It’s also gone up among independents,” the outlet added.
